Hantavirus is rare in the U.S. with fewer than 900 reported cases since the 1990s. Rodents are carriers for these viruses. HV does not spread like flu/covid/measles etc so don’t panic just take precautions. Air out closed spaces when cleaning and never sweep or vacuum dry debris- wet the area first and use disinfectant or a bleach solution, let it soak, then wipe up safely. Most U.S. cases occur west of the Mississippi and the deer mouse is the main carrier of the virus in North America. This virus does not have spread character to become a pandemic- it has a low replication value, a short window for spread & strains that are not mutating. The Norovirus outbreak is more common. Wash your hands often while traveling.
