A health expert has dismissed the possibility of a massive hantavirus outbreak. The professional emphasized that the virus is not transmitted from person to person. Instead, the infection is spread by rodents, particularly in rural and agricultural areas. Contagion typically occurs when individuals inhale particles from rodent urine, feces, or saliva. This risk is most prevalent in enclosed spaces where these contaminants accumulate. By clarifying the transmission method, the expert aims to reduce public alarm. Consequently, the focus remains on environmental prevention rather than interpersonal contagion.
