Hantavirus Outbreak: Low Public Risk, High Vigilance

Hantavirus Outbreak: Low Public Risk, High Vigilance

Author: The Daily News Now! May 15, 2026 Duration: 1:30

Forty-one individuals in the US are under CDC surveillance for potential hantavirus exposure from a recent cruise ship outbreak, with eleven infections and three deaths linked to the Andes virus strain from South America. Unlike the common Sin Nombre strain in Arizona, the Andes virus can spread person-to-person. The cruise cases likely originated from an Argentina stop. Arizona sees a few cases yearly, with four deaths this year. The public risk remains low, with monitoring lasting 42 days. Health officials warn of a potential increase in cases due to El Niños impact on rodent populations in the Southwest.
