Five of the 18 Americans at Nebraska's National Quarantine Unit have now departed to complete home monitoring, with 13 remaining — including Boston passenger Jake Rosmarin, who is staying the full 42 days. The MV Hondius Andes virus cluster holds at 13 cases and 3 deaths; France's ECMO patient enters approximately Day 25 with no new clinical update since May 28. Two unrelated domestic hantavirus cases surface in Colorado and Arizona, underlining the endemic background of Sin Nombre virus in North America.
