Two more former passengers from the MV Hondius cruise ship arrived at the National Quarantine Unit (NQU) Friday afternoon, bringing the total number of individuals undergoing assessment to 18. The NQU team, in collaboration with public health partners, continues to monitor and assess those former passengers.
Those two individuals had been at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta since the passengers arrived from the Canary Islands Monday morning. They were medically cleared to transition to the NQU.
