WHO says there could be more hantavirus cases, but no sign of wider outbreak | The World | ABC NEWS

The head of the World Health Organisation says "we might see more cases" of hantavirus, due to the amount of passenger interaction on the MV Hondius before the infection was confirmed.

But he stresses there's still no sign of a larger outbreak of the virus, which has killed three people and infected at least six others on the cruise ship.

Senior advisor to the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, Dr Aileen Marty, says the situation is being managed by different countries as best as they can.
