AP explains the strange outbreak of hantavirus on a cruise ship

A cruise ship outbreak of hantavirus has been reported, but global health officials say the risk to the general public remains low because the rodent-borne illness does not spread easily between people. The key takeaway is that this is a localized health event rather than a broader public health threat. Market impact should be limited, though it may pressure cruise/travel sentiment modestly.
