Today, three New York residents who were passengers on the MV Hondius cruise ship arrived at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. One passenger is from New York City, while the other two are residents of Orange County and Westchester County. All three are expected to be subject to a 42-day monitoring period.
"While the Department is working in close coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health departments to gather information, at this point it is unclear how long they will stay in Nebraska and whether, or when those individuals intend to return to New York. We are closely monitoring the situation and working with the CDC and local health departments.
"At this point, it is important to emphasize that there is no immediate risk to the public. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed."
