Twenty-four of the 38 Filipino crew members aboard the MV Hondius, which is reported to have a hantavirus case, are scheduled to fly to the Netherlands for quarantine, according to the Philippines’ Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). DMW Secretary Hans Cacdac says the 24 are hotel stewards on the Dutch-flagged vessel. Four crew members are expected to be repatriated within the day, while the remaining 20 will leave on Monday. Upon arrival in the Netherlands, they begin a quarantine period, which is expected to last up to 42 days, the Rappler report notes. The other 14 Filipino crew members are not all departing immediately; instead, they will stay aboard temporarily to help sail the ship to port in the Netherlands. Both outlets describe the crews as uninfected as far as the DMW’s position indicates, with the quarantine plan tied to their exposure on a vessel affected by hantavirus. The reports indicate coordination between Philippine authorities and the process upon arrival in the Netherlands.
