Health officials say there is no evidence of a wider hantavirus outbreak following the evacuation of passengers from the MV Hondius cruise ship, but warn the situation could still evolve. The WHO has confirmed nine cases and two suspected infections, after three deaths linked to the voyage, with some passengers still receiving treatment in Europe. 'At the moment, there is no sign that we are seeing the start of a larger outbreak,' WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press conference in Madrid. 'But of course the situation could change and, given the long incubation period of the virus, it's possible we might see more cases in the coming weeks.' #hantavirus #news #who #health #scie
