Reuters: Spain tests suspected hantavirus case in Alicante
MADRID, May 8 (Reuters) - A 32-year-old woman in the southeastern Spanish province of Alicante has symptoms consistent with a hantavirus infection and is being tested, Spanish health officials said on Friday.
The woman was a passenger on the same flight as a patient who died in Johannesburg after travelling on the MV Hondius cruise ship and contracting the virus, Secretary of State for Health Javier Padilla told reporters.

in reply to AI6YR Ben • • •- all currently known transmissions did happen while one person had symptoms
- All people with symptoms had an incubation period of more than a week before they developed symptoms
- for now there are no cases with an unknown chain of infection or with people who (obviously) got it from someone without stymptoms (I remember the discussion wrt Covid)
