WHO's Tedros: no sign of larger outbreak of hantavirus

MADRID, May 12 (Reuters) - ​The ⁠head of ​the World Health Organization said ​on ‌Tuesday there was no ⁠indication of the onset ⁠of a ​broader hantavirus outbreak, although he did not rule out ​further ‌cases.

"At the moment, there is no sign that we ​are seeing the start ‌of a larger outbreak, but of course ‌the situation could change and, given the long incubation ​period of the virus, ‌it's possible we might see more cases in the ⁠coming ⁠weeks,” WHO Director-General ‌Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters, speaking ​alongside ​Spanish Prime ‌Minister Pedro Sanchez in Madrid.
