U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. orders an American cruise passenger who was exposed to hantavirus in early May to remain in quarantine in Nebraska. Multiple outlets report that a federal medical review concluded she did not need to be confined far from her Florida home and recommended she could leave the Nebraska quarantine facility. Despite that assessment, Kennedy refused to release the passenger from the facility. The Hill and other reports say Kennedy signed an updated order to continue isolating the passenger at the Nebraska location, and the decision is described as occurring even though it conflicts with guidance from health authorities. The accounts do not agree on additional medical details beyond the exposure and the existence of a review recommending release. The passenger’s name is reported as Angela Perryman in at least one outlet. The situation remains centered on competing positions between the quarantine order and the federal medical review regarding whether continued confinement in Nebraska is necessary.
