Buses and ambulances departed Eindhoven airport on Sunday (May 10) after some evacuees from the hantavirus-hit cruise ship arrived to the country.

Groups of passengers and crew disembarked from the cruise ship to be evacuated to their home countries where they will isolate according to national protocols to prevent further spread of the disease.

The passengers will be tested upon arrival and then either taken to local hospitals or quarantine facilities or transported home for isolation.

The World Health Organization has recommended a 42-day quarantine for all passengers from the boat from Sunday, its director of epidemic and pandemic management Maria Van Kerkhove said in a briefing.
