Health officials say 3 people in King County, Washington may have been exposed to the Andes strain of hantavirus tied to the MV Hondius cruise ship outbreak that has already left multiple people dead. Two of the residents were reportedly sitting within a few seats of an infected passenger on a flight before that passenger was removed from the plane and later tested positive. A third Washington resident was actually onboard the cruise ship and is now being monitored at a federal quarantine center in Nebraska alongside other American passengers. Officials say nobody in King County is currently showing symptoms and the public risk remains “low” — but the situation is raising major concerns because the Andes strain is the ONLY known hantavirus capable of limited person-to-person spread. The outbreak linked to the MV Hondius has already resulted in confirmed infections, quarantines across multiple countries, and at least 3 deaths. #BreakingNews #Hantavirus #HealthAlert #CruiseShip #PublicHealth #OffShiftMedia

Especially after reports confirmed: 🛳️ New Yorkers were onboard the infected cruise ship ✈️ Washington residents may have been exposed during a flight ⚠️ The Andes strain is the ONLY hantavirus ever linked to limited person-to-person spread The question now isn’t just about the virus.
