GENEVA, Switzerland (AFP) — The deadly hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship, which sparked international alarm, should be formally declared over on July 2, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced Wednesday.
However, while the episode is nearing the end for the remaining people in quarantine, for scientists and experts, the work is only in its early stages.
Virus samples will be worked on to see if tests, treatments and vaccines could be developed for future outbreaks.
