What is hantavirus? Doctor reacts to cruise outbreak
Three people are dead and at least three others are sick after a suspected outbreak of hantavirus aboard a cruise ship sailing in the Atlantic Ocean, the World Health Organization (WHO) said Sunday. The vessel is currently anchored off Praia, the capital of Cape Verde, an island nation off the west coast of Africa. Oceanwide Expeditions said in a statement Monday that 149 people remain on board the ship, including 17 Americans. They will not be allowed to disembark in Cape Verde, Health Minister Maria da Luz Lima told Radio Cabo Verde on Sunday. However, local health authorities have visited the ship and assessed two symptomatic crew members “requiring urgent medical care,” Oceanwide said. 0:00 3 dead in hantavirus outbreak on cruise ship 3:00 Yale Medical School Dean on how is hantavirus outbreak may have occurred 6:29 How WHO is responding to suspected hantavirus outbreak Watch more CNN here: https://cnn.it/4kh5RPe #Hantavirus #Cruise #News
