European Commission: No cause for concern about hantavirus cases

The European Commission appears unconcerned, but on high alert, regarding the hantavirus outbreak on the cruise ship "MV Hondius", underlining that there is no reason for concern at this time for public health in Europe.

The statement comes despite a possible suspected case in a member of the ship's crew, which was confirmed by Dutch authorities.

"The risk to the European public remains low. Protecting public health is an absolute priority. Authorities are reviewing new data every day, particularly following information that a crew member showed symptoms without boarding the cruise ship," a spokesman said. 

The Commission has stressed that it is in constant contact with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). /CNA
