Another Deadly Virus "Hanta Virus" Detected In China

While the world is still battling with Coronavirus,

another deadly virus, Orthohantavirus popularly

referred to as Hantavirus, has emerged from

China.

The virus has already killed a man from Yunnan

Province.

He was on a chartered bus to Shandong

Province for work on Monday when he fell and

died, Global Times reported.

He was tested positive for Hantavirus.

Other 32 people on the bus were tested also.

Hantavirus is spread mainly by rodents.

Unlike Coronavirus, the cases of human-to-

human transmission of Hantavirus are rare.

Humans may become infected with Hantavirus

if they come in contact with rodent urine, saliva,

or faeces.

Early symptoms of the virus include fatigue,

fever, and muscle aches, along with headache,

dizziness, chills and abdominal problems.

If left untreated, it can lead to coughing and

shortness of breath and finally death.

More than 377,000 people have been infected

by Coronavirus across the world and 16,500

have died from it.

Countries are being placed on lockdown to

prevent further spread of the COVID-19.
