This virus is called the “Andes virus,” and it is a type of hantavirus.

Although the “Andes virus” found this time can spread from person to person, experts say this kind of transmission is very rare and usually requires long, close contact.

Therefore, the health risk to the general public is still very low at present.

Experts say the most effective way to prevent this virus is to “stay away from rats.”

Although hantavirus sounds unfamiliar, as long as we develop good hygiene habits and pay attention to keeping our surroundings clean, there is no need to panic too much.
