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

https://t.co/h2kKl9hdDI

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

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.

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 https://t.co/VaKZRQNVVz

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

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!

Don’t know of anybody is left out there but I think I’ve found my space at Bluesky.

@ruraldocTas Nice report.
Great to have the genomic data included. Hard to access these data through public sources

[bevpaterson @bevpaterson]

@s_wheeler_ Let me know if you come across a viable alternative 🙃
