As of May 10, NJDOH continues to monitor both NJ residents and reports neither has developed symptoms suggestive of hantavirus; the department has explicitly declined to release county of residence, age, or sex citing patient privacy. NJDOH noted the ANDV incubation period spans 4-42 days and that asymptomatic persons are not considered infectious, framing the monitoring as precautionary rather than quarantine. Separately, GGD Kennemerland escalated KL592 contact tracing from the original two-rows tier to all passengers aboard, which retroactively confirms NJ-001 inclusion in the broader monitored cohort
