Hes the only American isolated there after exposure. Despite initial mixed test results, new U.S. tests confirm hes in the clear. Meanwhile, the WHO reports eleven hantavirus cases worldwide, including three deaths and eight lab-confirmed. Health experts note hantavirus usually comes from rodent droppings and doesnt spread easily person-to-person, though this strain might in rare cases. Two more Americans are under watch in Atlanta. Public health teams are keeping a close eye, advising all passengers and crew to quarantine for forty-two days at home or facilities.
