Should you be concerned about hantavirus?
Hantaviruses, named after a river in South Korea, are a family of more than twenty different viral species.

One strain, however, known as the Andes virus, is thought to spread by human-to-human transmission, although rarely. But this week, a cruise ship called the MV Hondius has made headlines because of another suspected hantavirus outbreak onboard that has killed three people so far and made several others very sick.
