Hantavirus cruise-ship won't trigger Covid-like pandemic, WHO insists as Ireland's health minister says Irish passengers will be assessed
"This is not Covid, this is not influenza, WHO's director said. The virus is far less transmissible and less adept at mutating, making pandemic potential very low."
Three people died and eight suspected infected on a Dutch-flagged ship heading to Canary Islands. The virus is less transmissible and less likely to mutate compared to coronavirus. Authorities are tracing passengers who disembarked before the outbreak was detected, describing it as a serious incident but not a public health threat.
