  • 美国疾控中心建议多数密切接触者进行为期六周的居家监测

  • 世界卫生组织称本次疫情与新冠不可同日而语,不存在大流行风险

华盛顿5月14日(路透社)——美国卫生官员周四表示,本月在一艘豪华邮轮上导致三人死亡的安第斯型汉坦病毒疫情目前在美国暂无确诊病例,但仍有41人可能因接触病毒而接受感染监测,其中18人已在 Nebraska州和亚特兰大接受隔离。

美国疾病控制与预防中心表示,这41人包括在疫情被发现前已返回美国的乘客,以及可能在有症状病例搭乘的航班上接触过病毒的人员。

美国疾控中心汉坦病毒应对事件负责人戴维·菲特尔博士表示,多数接受监测的人员应在为期六周的监测期内居家,避免与他人接触。

他未就18名隔离人员的最新情况提供说明。内布拉斯加大学医学中心周二曾表示,最初被安置在生物防护单元的一名乘客已通过医学评估,可转移至普通隔离单元与其他人员一同隔离。

“我可以明确的是,美国境内暂无确诊病例,”当被问及美国已有多少人接受病毒检测时,菲特尔在新闻发布会上如此说道。

本次安第斯型汉坦病毒疫情主要通过啮齿动物传播,极少数情况下可在人际间传播,于5月初在豪华探险邮轮“洪都修斯号”(MV Hondius)上被发现。

疫情已造成三人死亡:一对荷兰夫妇和一名德国公民。

世界卫生组织周二表示,与该邮轮相关的聚集性疫情预计会出现更多病例,但强调本次疫情与新冠不可同日而语,不存在大流行风险。

  • CDC urges six-week home monitoring for most exposed individuals
  • 41 ​monitored include passengers and flight contacts with potential exposure to symptomatic case
  • WHO ‌says outbreak not comparable to COVID, poses no pandemic threat

WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) – There are no confirmed cases in the United States of the Andes hantavirus outbreak that killed three ​people aboard a luxury cruise ship this month, U.S. health officials said on ​Thursday, but 41 people, including 18 quarantined in Nebraska and Atlanta, ⁠are being monitored for possible infection.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said ​the 41 people include passengers who had returned to the United States before the ​outbreak was identified and others who may have been exposed on flights where a symptomatic case was present.

Most of the people being monitored should stay at home and avoid contact with others during ​the six-week monitoring period, said Dr. David Fitter, the incident manager for the CDC’s ​hantavirus response.

He did not give an update on the 18 people in quarantine. The University of Nebraska Medical ‌Center ⁠said on Tuesday that one passenger initially placed in a biocontainment unit had been medically cleared to move to a quarantine unit with the others.

“What I can say is that there are no cases in the United States,” Fitter said on a press ​call when asked how ​many people had ⁠been tested in the United States.

The outbreak of the Andes hantavirus, which is primarily spread by rodents but can be transmitted between ​people in rare cases, was reported in early May aboard ​the MV ⁠Hondius, a luxury expedition cruise ship.

It has since killed three people: a Dutch couple and a German national.

The World Health Organization said on Tuesday more cases were expected from the ⁠cluster linked ​to the ship, but stressed it was not ​comparable to COVID and did not pose a pandemic threat.
