Angela Perryman

Angela Perryman was among eight Americans who were held in a mandatory six-week quarantine in Nebraska after potential exposure to a hantavirus outbreak. The group was evacuated from the MV Hondius cruise ship. Perryman notably accused the government of holding her against her will, describing the quarantine as "coercion" rather than science. Health law experts criticized the Trump administration's actions as "authoritarian" and "unconstitutional," arguing that the mandatory quarantine lacked scientific evidence and set a concerning precedent for future public health responses to potential outbreaks of diseases like Ebola. The U.S. Health and Human Services Department (HHS) confirmed the end of the isolation period for the group, allowing them to be released.
