Michael Baker: Otago University epidemiologist on whether the hantavirus outbreak could become a global pandemic

There's confidence from some that the hantavirus outbreak won't turn into another worldwide pandemic. Passengers are being evacuated and returning to home countries, including one New Zealander. Authorities say one of five French passengers developed symptoms flying to Paris, and will isolate until further notice.  Otago University epidemiologist, Michael Baker, says person to person transmission is very unusual for this virus. "And when they're investigated, these are often people who are living in the same house or the same bedroom or are spending a lot of time together - it's not from casual contact."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
