Hantavirus has been in the news a lot recently after an outbreak on a cruise ship called the MV Hondius made global headlines. Just 6 years after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the presence of another little-known virus in the news - and images of people wearing PPE as they’re moved into quarantine - has had some people very nervous. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll look at what hantavirus is, how it spreads, and how the attempts to contain it might work from here. Squiz Recommends: Reading: This piece from The Conversation goes into detail on how the hantavirus is different from the coronavirus… Reading: This story from the ABC covers the debate over the quarantine facility in Western Australia.
