Swiss authorities have confirmed a case of #hantavirus identified in a passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship.
He had responded to an email from the ship’s operator informing the passengers of the health event, and presented himself to a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, and is receiving care.
In line with the International Health Regulations (IHR), WHO is working with relevant countries to support international contact tracing, to ensure that those potentially exposed are monitored and that any further disease spread is limited.
The type of virus in this outbreak has been confirmed as Andes hantavirus by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases @nicd_sa, South Africa and the Geneva University Hospitals @hug_ge, Switzerland
The support of the Institut Pasteur de Dakar @PasteurDakar, Senegal and the Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Institutos de Salud @ANLIS_Malbran, Argentina has also been critical in responding to this event.
As of 6 May, there are 8 cases, 3 of whom are confirmed as hantavirus by laboratory testing.
WHO will continue to work with countries to ensure that the patients, contacts, passengers and crew have the information and support they need to stay safe and prevent spread.
Reminder that the Broncos got slandered on Pat Bryant last year and Bo Nix the year before.
The Broncos won 25 games the last 2 years with ridiculous dead cap.
PFF graded the Broncos as the worst roster in the league 2 years ago.
Who cares
Normally I'm not a snitch, but I love my Gulf of America, and this is illegal. They are installing a pool and dumping garbage into our channel. #FWC will hear about this.
Hot take, but influencers have literally ruined everything. Music festivals, vacation destinations, the whole of social media, stores…literally everything.
