Six travellers affected by a hantavirus outbreak linked to an earlier cruise are scheduled to leave a quarantine facility in Bullsbrook and travel home on Tuesday morning, according to The West Australian. The passengers have been held in a special facility in Bullsbrook for several weeks as part of their isolation following concerns related to the cruise’s hantavirus case(s).
Both reports say the release follows negative testing results during the isolation period. One outlet specifies the quarantine lasts 42 days and describes “freedom day” as the moment the group is cleared after testing repeatedly returns negative outcomes. Another report describes the travellers as departing on Tuesday morning after spending the past several weeks in the Bullsbrook facility.
The articles do not provide additional details about the original cruise, how or when exposure occurred, or the patients’ symptoms. They focus on the timeline for quarantine and the testing outcomes that determine the release from isolation.
