British UK-resident (UNMC Quarantine Unit)
MONITORINGDOSSIER
US reporting (UNMC, Nebraska Examiner, NPR, ABC News) consistently describes this patient as a dual U.S.-British citizen who is a U.S. resident, rather than a UK resident as the original label indicates. He remains in the Nebraska National Quarantine Unit (not the biocontainment unit; the one biocontainment admission was a previously-positive American). Symptom-free per twice-daily checks led by Dr Michael Wadman, the quarantine unit's medical director. The wider cohort spans late twenties to early eighties in age, but individual details are not being released. No test results released for this person as of May 13
May 11 reporting clarifies this individual is a dual US-British citizen among the 18 American passengers repatriated on the State Department flight from Tenerife. 15 of the 18 arrived at the UNMC National Quarantine Unit at the Davis Global Center on the UNMC/Nebraska Medicine campus on May 11 for assessment and monitoring; this person is in that group rather than the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit (which houses MVH-010, the one repatriate who tested positive). Two other US-citizen Hondius passengers went to Emory in Atlanta (US-GA-001, US-GA-002). All 15 NQU residents are asymptomatic, in single-occupancy negative-pressure rooms; monitoring period up to 42 days at UNMCs discretion based on epidemiological assessment. Demographics not publicly released
