Summary
A cruise ship passenger, Angela Perryman, remains under federal quarantine in Nebraska despite showing zero symptoms of hantavirus — a decision backed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who insists on completing the full 42-day monitoring period. Though a federal medical review deemed confinement unnecessary, Kennedy’s stance has sparked controversy, especially given his history on public health mandates. Perryman, symptom-free since early May, is frustrated by the isolation — even as officials stress the need to protect public health, given the rare person-to-person transmission risk of the Andes virus strain. Of 18 evacuated Americans, eight remain at the facility, while others are quarantined at home under federal supervision. The clock ticks down to June 21st — when the quarantine may finally end.
