“The World Health Organization has declared the hantavirus outbreak over after the last identified contact of an exposed person linked to a cruise ship completed quarantine and tested negative for the virus. The outbreak, which infected 13 people and killed three, involved the rare Andes hantavirus strain that typically circulates in Argentina and Chile. The cruise ship Hondius sailed from Argentina on April 1. … The Andes virus is the only known hantavirus that can spread through close, prolonged human-to-human contact.” (07/02/26)
