The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responding to an outbreak of Andes virus, a hantavirus strain, aboard a cruise ship in the Atlantic Ocean, federal health authorities said. Both passengers and crew have been affected, though no related Andes virus cases have been identified inside the United States. Several U.S. passengers disembarked and returned home before the outbreak was recognized and are now under active monitoring by state and local health departments. The CDC is supplying technical guidance to international partners and relies on its round-the-clock port-of-entry response teams, while assessing current risk to the American public as extremely low.

Tu salud es primordial. Si tú o un ser querido desembarcaron recientemente de un crucero por el Atlántico, mantente alerta. Presta atención a síntomas como fiebre, dolores musculares o fatiga. Ponte en contacto con tu departamento de salud local si estás preocupado.
Los CDC tienen esto bajo control y califican el riesgo para los estadounidenses como extremadamente bajo. Aun así, es un recordatorio para mantenerse informado sobre los riesgos para la salud al viajar. Vale la pena reenviarlo si conoce a alguien a quien le encanta navegar.
