Canadian national health agency confirms 1 positive hantavirus test - AP News
Overview
Canada's national health agency confirmed that one of four Canadians repatriated from the cruise ship outbreak tested positive for hantavirus. The case joins other international positives identified among evacuees and falls within the World Health Organization's multi-country investigation, where sequencing from some patients has matched the South American Andes hantavirus. Canadian health authorities are monitoring close contacts and coordinating testing and isolation for repatriated passengers. The confirmation underscores the outbreak's international reach and the need to probe possible rodent exposure and transmission routes aboard the vessel.
