British Man Hauled Out Of Bar When He Was Meant To Be In Quarantine For Hantavirus

A British man who was supposed to be under hantavirus quarantine has been found drinking at a bar in Milan, Italy.

Italian authorities tracked him down following a tip-off from the UK government. Despite testing negative and showing zero symptoms, he was rounded up alongside his companion and moved to Sacco Hospital to complete his isolation period until June 6, 2026.

Pretty sloppy way of running a quarantine, where someone can just wander off to the pub when they feel like it?

The man, who is in his 60s, had been on the same flight as Mirjam Schilperoord, 69, who died after flying from St Helena to Johannesburg when she contracted the virus. Apparently he was sat a few rows away from her.

Mirjam was the wife of hantavirus patient zero – Leo Schilperoord, who managed to catch the Andes train of hantavirus; the only one that can spread from human to human.

Regional health officials noted the mandatory 42-day period must be fulfilled because the risk of developing the disease spans up to six weeks.

Well, this bloke better hope he doesn’t develop symptoms in that period or he’ll be public enemy #1. Only takes one person to break self-isolation and the problem can snowball from there. Hopefully that doesn’t turn out to be the case.
