Hantavirus quarantine underway
from Checkpoint
A New Zealander and five Australian residents caught up in a deadly cruise ship hantavirus outbreak have touched down in Perth. The group landed at an airforce base and were bussed to a quarantine centre where they must stay for at least three weeks. The group was on the MV Hondius when the rat-borne virus broke out. Three people from the ship have died and a further 11 are either confirmed or suspected to have the virus. Lisa Owen spoke to ABC Perth reporter Cason Ho.
