An airplane arrived this evening at Eindhoven Airport, carrying passengers and part of the crew of the cruise ship where the Andes virus was detected. In the coming weeks, the group will be closely monitored to provide them with appropriate care should they need it. The people who need to be quarantined will be supported by the GGD.

At the moment, there are 3 people in the Netherlands with symptoms who have been tested for the Andes virus, a variant of the hantavirus. Two test results are negative. The third test is still being analysed. These 3 individuals developed symptoms after they had contact on board an airplane with a person infected with the Andes virus.
