New Jersey Residents Potentially Exposed to Hantavirus

About this episode

Two New Jersey residents may have been exposed to hantavirus during air travel following a cruise ship outbreak.

Two New Jersey residents may have been exposed to hantavirus during air travel, following an outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship that has claimed three lives. The Andes virus strain, which can spread person-to-person, was responsible for the outbreak. Although the two locals have not shown symptoms, public reaction has been calm due to experts assurance that the overall US risk is low. The first victim fell ill six days after the ship left port and died on April eleventh. The virus has an incubation period of four to forty-two days and requires close, prolonged contact to spread. Health teams are monitoring the situation, and early care can boost survival odds. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
