Three to six passengers connected to the alleged hantavirus exposure on the MV Hondius cruise ship complete 42 days in quarantine in Perth and are cleared to return home, according to multiple outlets. ABC Australia reports that three passengers from Australia and New Zealand are released after finishing the 42-day period and meeting clearance requirements. The West Australian and PerthNow report a slightly larger group, stating that five Australians and one New Zealander are released from the quarantine facility after the same 42-day period. All accounts link the passengers to the MV Hondius outbreak and describe the quarantine as following potential exposure to a “deadly” hantavirus. The reports agree that the releases occur after the full quarantine duration and that the passengers are assessed and cleared by authorities before travelling home. Differences between sources appear to be in the reported number of released passengers, with ABC Australia naming three and the other outlets reporting six.
