Two Singapore residents who were on a hantavirus-affected cruise ship tested negative for the disease and can continue quarantining at home until June 6 if they wish. They had previously been isolated for monitoring after sharing a flight with a confirmed hantavirus case. Following updated guidelines from the WHO, the quarantine period was reduced from 45 days to 42. The overall infection risk for the general public remains low, although the situation continues to be closely monitored, especially given the virus’s potential for human-to-human transmission in certain strains. The cruise ship, MV Hondius, has since been cleared to resume operations after cleaning.
