Kansas Exposed to Andes Virus, Now Clear

Three Kansans exposed to deadly Andes hantavirus on an international flight have safely completed their 42-day observation period — with no symptoms and no confirmed cases in the state. The virus, unusual for its person-to-person spread, was contracted after sitting directly behind a symptomatic passenger who later died. Officials, including the governor, took swift action with a disaster declaration, but all three individuals remained healthy throughout their quarantine at home, voluntarily isolating and staying in contact with health authorities. Public health experts confirm the risk to the general population remains extremely low. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
