Petition: US Must Quarantine Former Hantavirus Cruise Ship Passengers per WHO Suggestions

Around 11 passengers and crew from the MV Hondius cruise ship were confirmed infected with the Andes strain of Hantavirus, with three people allegedly dead as a result. The WHO recommends a 42 day isolation period for everyone who was aboard, yet the CDC is only encouraging self quarantine rather than mandating it. This gap in policy puts the public at serious risk. You can push back against this dangerous inaction by visiting the petition now and adding your name today.

Hantavirus incubates for one to eight weeks, meaning exposed individuals could unknowingly spread it while going about daily life. The 41 monitored former passengers remain free to mingle with the general public throughout that window, which is simply not acceptable. Demand the US government protect everyone by requiring full quarantines, and share the petition now with everyone you know.
