Surto de hantavírus em navio de cruzeiro dificilmente causará crise global

Um surto de hantavírus no navio MV Hondius, no Atlântico, gerou preocupações com a saúde, embora especialistas avaliem que o risco de uma propagação maior seja baixo.

O vírus não é transmitido facilmente por contato casual, o que limita seu potencial de afetar um grande número de pessoas além do navio. Isso contrasta com doenças mais contagiosas comumente associadas a cruzeiros, como o norovírus, que se espalha rapidamente em espaços fechados e é frequentemente chamado de vírus dos navios de cruzeiro.
