Six from hantavirus-hit cruise ship begin three-week quarantine in Australia

Six passengers from the hantavirus-hit cruise ship MV Hondius arrived in Western Australia for a three-week quarantine at Bullsbrook after flying in from the Netherlands; they and a doctor accompanying them were taken by bus to the quarantine facility as Australia enacts a stringent quarantine to prevent any transmission. The ship, which had 11 cases and three deaths, is returning to the Netherlands for cleaning, and the WHO has identified a 42-day potential incubation window for exposure.
