Is there public data / info on contact tracing for the cruise ship hantavirus exposure ?

Per USA Today, VA is one of five states with passengers from the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius. See the article below for details (4:32 PM update):

I'm wondering if there is any publicly available info about how contact tracing is being done for those in the state + also generally where those passengers may be. Hantavirus can remain asymptomatic for up to 8 weeks, evidently, so I'm curious how that is being handled.

Many thanks for any insights y'all can offer.
