HHS Secretary RFK Jr. overrules CDC medical reviewer to keep cruise ship passenger in federal quarantine.
Angela Perryman, exposed to hantavirus on the MV Hondius cruise, was ordered to remain in federal quarantine in Nebraska by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A CDC medical review had recommended she be allowed to return home to Florida, finding the state's proposed monitoring plan adequate. Kennedy's order followed Florida's refusal to accept the federal government's stricter monitoring requirements.
