Now there are forwards of a new virus; #HantaVirus.

This is an old found virus. Transmitted from Rodents. It has not shown as contagious behavior as per data available. There are vaccines also for it. There were many records of it in past also.

Don't panic & don't forward.
According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); it is not airborne and can only spread to people if they come in contact with urine, feces, and saliva of rodents and less frequently by a bite from an infected host.

So they spread mainly by rodents.
It can cause #hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) and haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).

There are no documentation of HPS Human to Human transmission. Whereas HFRS Human to Human Transmission are rare. Which means mostly non-contagious.

All sourced from CDC.
Hantavirus is not a single virus. But name given to a group of viruses.

So many virus from this family are there. Again some vaccines are already there; depending upon which virus eg Hantavax. Some Hantavirus vaccine trials are still ongoing.

Now please dont start saying 'What about this & that'. And before ppl start targeting me, I just want to say that this is old virus not 'Novel', which #Covid19 is. All I am saying & source are mentioned just to reduce the misinformation. As i saw forwards.
