A rare hantavirus outbreak killed passengers aboard a Dutch cruise ship in April. By May 10, Canada's top transport official had signed an order banning every person on board from flying home.
I am unsure of whether you are in favour of what was done or not. It sounds like a reasonable action in response to a difficult situation. As you pointed out, our citizens were repatriated under controlled conditions and quarantined safely. Hopefully they will pass safely through the quarantine. Hopefully the aircraft was successfully cleaned as well and those proving care for the passengers did so in a secure manner.

Personally I think it makes sense. Don’t allow them back until you are sure they won’t spread the virus.
