Hantavirus on Cruise Ship: Low Risk to Canada
Description
Four Canadians on the M.V. Hondius cruise ship, including one presumptive Andes hantavirus case, are in isolation in British Columbia. PHAC and B.C. health authorities are monitoring the situation, emphasizing low risk to the public. The virus typically requires close contact for spread, and direct human-to-human transmission is rare. Twenty-six Canadians on the same flight as a confirmed case are being contacted, considered low risk. Eleven cases, including three deaths, have been reported from the cruise ship. Public health officials expect minimal risk to the wider Canadian population.
