Hantavirus update

The Public Health Agency is working closely with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), which is coordinating the UK public health response on hantavirus associated with the MV Hondius.

To date, UKHSA have informed us that no close contacts have been identified from Northern Ireland.

We will continue to monitor the situation alongside other agencies and partners, and provide assistance and public health advice as required.

Further information and updates can be found on the UKHSA website at www.gov.uk/government/news/ukhsa-update-on-the-hantavirus-cruise-ship-outbreak
