The hantavirus outbreak, which claimed three lives in April, is over, says the Geneva-based World Health Organization.

The disease spread to people in four countries and more than 600 people were at one point under medical surveillance.

Seit dem 25. Mai sind laut der UN-Gesundheitsorganisation keine neuen Hanta-Fälle mehr aufgetreten. Am Donnerstag wurde die letzte Kontaktperson negativ getestet.

First reported on May 2, the outbreak stemmed from cases aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship off the coast of South America.
