What’s next for the ‘Hondius’ passengers? From Spain’s strict isolation to home quarantine in the Netherlands
Passengers from the MV Hondius cruise ship are returning to their home countries, where they face weeks of quarantine. However, both the duration and method of isolation vary depending on the country. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 42 days of monitoring and quarantine at home or in a healthcare facility, a guideline that is subject to different interpretations: countries such as Canada have initially established 21 days of isolation, to be evaluated afterward; the Netherlands allows quarantine at home with walks outdoors, while Greece imposes 45 days in a hospital under special conditions.
