The hantavirus outbreak has been well-handled – but there are still dangerous days ahead | Devi Sridhar All the protocols that health experts like me look for have been followed. But outbreaks on cruise ships are notoriously hard to controlProf Devi Sridhar is chair of global public health at the University of EdinburghHantavirus: the disease you wish youd never heard of, as visions of the Covid pandemic flash through your head.
