WHO Confirms 10 Global Hantavirus Cases, Hondius Crew Remain Symptom Free The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed 10 global cases of hantavirus, with three fatalities.
While WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus asserts that the danger to the global population is "low," the situation on board the MV Hondius remains a concern.
The long incubation period of hantavirus – six weeks – has raised questions about potential undiagnosed cases among passengers returning to their countries.
