Hantavirus contact tracing: What’s next for cruise passengers?

From CBC News.

Public health officials across multiple countries are in the process of tracing those who may have come into contact with passengers on board the MV Hondius who have contracted the Andes strain of hantavirus. Further tracing is expected to ramp up with the ship set to arrive in the Canary Islands on May 10.

Dr. Isaac Bogoch says contact tracing across many countries requires work but says the ‘right steps’ are being taken so far.
