Latest WHO disease outbreak news on the Hantavirus outbreak is now available. 11 cases now, though one American has an inconclusive test result (one positive, one negative - from two different laboratories who.int/emergencies/disease-…

Update on #hantavirus: As of 12 May, 12h00 CEST, a total of 11 cases, including 3 deaths, have been reported. Nine of the 11 cases are confirmed, and the other 2 are probable. All are among passengers or crew on the ship. We expect more cases given the dynamics of spread on a ship and the virus’ incubation period. At the moment, there is no sign that we are seeing the start of a larger outbreak. Passengers and crew are being followed up in their countries, where WHO recommends a 42-day quarantine at home or in a facility starting from day of departure from the ship.

With all the discussion about the need for quarantining of the passengers on the cruise ship, I’ve made a short video on what needs to be considered. youtu.be/9YI2egYFfYo?si=x_Iu…

An American and a French passenger linked to the Hondius cruise ship outbreak tested positive for the Andes strain of hantavirus, a rare respiratory disease, less than a day after leaving the expedition vessel bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Latest WHO report on Hantavirus outbreak cruise ship. Since 4 May 3 suspected cases confirmed 1 additional case confirmed 1 suspected case now a non-case - not clear if this is the flight attendant? Global risk is low Moderate risk for passengers and crew who.int/emergencies/disease-…

This is my take on the Hantavirus situation on the cruise ship. I’ll provide an update on a couple of days. This is a fast moving situation, I only just posted this and already it needs updating! youtu.be/jzQvf901aGQ?si=YN1N…
