I think I recall reading that symptoms present themselves upon the 6th day after infection. If they have been symptom-free for that time, the indication is that they are clear of the virus and can at least be sent home. Or, how long do you want to keep them prisoner?
The incubation period for the Andes hantavirus can range from 9 to 40 days. The median incubation period is 18 days, with a potential minimum of 7 days and a potential maximum of 39 days.

Thanks for the update. A little brinksmanship, then. I surely don't recall this much detail in the press accounts (no credit to them).
