Reviewed event record
Minnesota Department of Health said it was monitoring one asymptomatic person in Minnesota who may have briefly been exposed overseas to someone from the MV Hondius cruise who tested positive for Andes virus, and emphasized that the health risk to the public remained very low.
For searches such as hantavirus MSP, this page treats MSP as a likely Minnesota / Minneapolis-Saint Paul monitoring intent and points back to the Minnesota Department of Health source context. It does not claim a confirmed Minnesota case, local spread, or increased public risk.
