CP NewsAlert: 26 ‘low-risk’ air passengers being contacted about hantavirus: Canada’s top doctor

Canada’s chief medical officer of health says 26 people across the country are being contacted by public health authorities to monitor for hantavirus symptoms, though they are deemed “low-risk.”

Dr. Joss Reimer says all of the passengers shared flights with someone with hantavirus, but it’s believed they didn’t have close contact with the sick person or sit near them.

More to come.
