UPDATE: CDC confirms the hantavirus linked to the cruise ship outbreak is the “Andes virus” — the only strain known to spread person to person.

“Hantaviruses are a group of viruses carried by rodents that can cause severe disease in humans. People are usually infected through contact with infected rodents or their urine, droppings or saliva. The species of hantavirus involved in this case is the Andes virus – which is found in Latin America and is the only species known to be capable of limited transmission between humans.” - @DrTedros, WHO Director General





WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told journalists in Geneva that five confirmed and three suspected cases had been reported overall, including the three deaths. "Given the incubation period of the Andes virus, which can be up to six weeks, it's possible that more cases may be reported," he said. #Hantavirus #WHO #HealthAlert deccanchronicle.com/world/who-warn…
