The World Health organization is suspecting that the Virus could
be spreading through close human contact meaning there could be
human to human transmission occurring. Human transmission of
this virus is uncommon however the Andes virus which is a form
of Hantavirus has caused human to human transmission in past
outbreaks.

UN health agency tracing over 80 people on flight taken by
hantavirus victim.
I must add this comment. It can take several weeks for symptoms
to appear. This is something we will have to monitor very
closely.

The latest count I see for the outbreak is 3 deaths, 5 confirmed
cases, and 3 suspected cases. With contact tracing continuing it
is possible we will see more suspected or confirmed cases with
this.
