Passengers exposed to hantavirus on a cruise ship are presently quarantined within the United States as part of ongoing public health safety measures.

Authorities are exploring an option that would permit these quarantined individuals to leave government facilities and return to their homes, contingent on their agreement to continuous health surveillance. This proposed protocol involves 24/7 monitoring to track the health status of those potentially exposed to the virus, aiming to manage risk while offering more flexibility for passengers under quarantine.
