90-Second Read: RFK Jr. orders Hantavirus cruise ship passenger to stay in quarantine

A cruise ship passenger exposed to Hantavirus remains in federal quarantine despite being symptom-free. The passenger has been in a quarantine facility in Nebraska despite a federal medical review that said there's no need to confine her far from her Florida home. As of Tuesday, eight of the American passengers remained in Nebraska while the others were allowed to go home and quarantine there while under federal officials' supervision.

This comes as the group of 18 passengers from the outbreak-stricken ship arrived back in the United States. Health officials said in a press conference that plans were in place to care for the 18 people that just returned and for the other Americans aboard the cruise ship who disembarked and returned previously. Angela Perryman has been in quarantine since she left the cruise ship five weeks ago.

Symptoms of Hantavirus can take as long as 42 days to manifest. The timeframe for Americans being monitored for any signs of Hantavirus symptoms is set to expire on June 21. We are learning this Monday that one American has tested positive for Hantavirus and at least one other is showing mild symptoms.
