Twenty-four of the 38 Filipino crew members of the MV Hondius will be brought to the Netherlands to undergo quarantine.

According to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW), they will be flown by plane to the said country.

The remaining 14 Filipino crew members will follow aboard the ship.

Once the quarantine period is completed, they will then be repatriated back to the Philippines.

The DMW also said that the crew members will continue to receive their salaries based on what is stipulated in their contracts.

The Department of Health earlier said that the Filipino seamen tested negative for hantavirus.
