But the variant people are worried about is capable of spreading directly from person to person.

Based on early investigations by health officials in May 2026, passengers on the cruise ship likely contracted hantavirus (specifically the Andes virus) through an initial, pre-boarding exposure to rodent droppings in South America

The ship itself is not seeing any cases between passengers, at least as far as I’ve seen in reports
