SINGAPORE: Both Singapore residents who were onboard the cruise ship where there was an outbreak of hantavirus have tested negative, the Communicable Diseases Agency (CDA) said on Friday (May 8).
CDA’s Public Health Laboratory conducted testing with multiple samples collected from both men and confirmed that hantavirus, including the Andes virus, was not detected.
Both men have been isolated at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) after they were on board the hantavirus-hit MV Hondius cruise ship. They were also on the same flight as a confirmed hantavirus case who later died.
