Singapore Tests Two for Hantavirus After Deadly Cruise Outbreak

Singapore has isolated two residents who were onboard a cruise ship linked to a deadly outbreak of hantavirus.

Both men, aged 67 and 65, had been onboard the MV Hondius when it departed Argentina on April 1, the Communicable Diseases Agency said in a statement Thursday. “One has a runny nose but is otherwise well, and the other is asymptomatic,” CDA said. The test results for hantavirus are pending.
