The public health risk for hantavirus in the rest of the world remains low, the World Health Organization said.
An eighth hantavirus-linked case has been identified among passengers who traveled on a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean, officials announced on Wednesday, May 6.
Three people have died since the outbreak began on the MV Hondius, a cruise ship run by Netherlands-based expedition cruise operator Oceanwide Expeditions.
Three others were evacuated from the ship hours ago.
Officials confirmed the strain of hantavirus as the Andes virus.
