In Spain, hantavirus contacts who remain asymptomatic and have negative PCR tests will be allowed to complete the final 14 days of the planned 42-day quarantine at home, provided they meet the conditions required to guarantee isolation and health safety. During this period, they will undergo daily checks by public health staff.
The Public Health Commission has recently approved a new protocol for monitoring the hantavirus outbreak linked to the MV Hondius cruise ship, which in Spain has resulted in 14 passengers being admitted to Gómez Ulla Hospital, one of them testing positive, as well as two women from Alicante and Barcelona who shared a flight with one of the people who died.
