UNMC receives 16 returning Americans: 15 in quarantine unit, 1 in biocontainment unit

Per Nebraska Public Media (May 11): 'On Monday, 16 American cruise ship passengers arrived at the University of Nebraska Medical Center; 15 are in the quarantine unit and one person is in the biocontainment unit.' Operational reality of the previously-flagged CDC 'no plan to quarantine' framing (event 311a6403-...): passengers DO go to UNMC's National Quarantine Center for case-by-case medical placement — 15/16 in the quarantine unit + 1/16 in biocontainment based on medical need. The facility is named "Quarantine Center"; the CDC's May 9 statement disclaimed BLANKET MANDATORY HOME quarantine, not the facility itself. Operational fact ('15 in quarantine unit') is consistent with stated policy ('case-by-case monitoring at the facility').
