Cruise passenger quarantining for hantavirus says he will remain in Nebraska for full 42 days - Mid-Utah Radio

A cruise ship passenger quarantined at Nebraska's National Quarantine Unit said he will stay the full 42 days to protect others. Jake Rosmarin, from Boston, has been at the facility since May 11. He described a traumatizing experience and said he plans to remain isolated until there is zero percent risk of infection. The 42-day incubation period for the Andes hantavirus drives the duration, with others having completed the initial 21-day quarantine and continuing a 21-day self-quarantine at home. New York health officials said two residents will finish monitoring in the city; WHO reported 13 hantavirus cases linked to the MV Hondius, with three deaths.
