Two Texas Residents Identified as Passengers on MV Hondius
· Texas Border Business
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has informed the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) that two Texas residents were aboard the MV Hondius, which recently had a hantavirus outbreak in the Atlantic Ocean. These passengers disembarked before the outbreak was recognized. Public health officials have contacted them, and both report no symptoms or contact with sick individuals during the voyage. They will monitor their health with daily temperature checks and will alert authorities if any symptoms arise. Hantaviruses are typically transmitted through rodent droppings, and the Andes virus strain can spread in limited circumstances between people.
