š¦ California monitorea posible exposiciĆ³n al hantavirus
Cinco residentes de California estĆ”n siendo monitoreados tras una posible exposiciĆ³n al Andes hantavirus relacionada con un crucero en SudamĆ©rica, informĆ³ el Departamento de Salud PĆŗblica de California. Hasta ahora, ninguno presenta sĆntomas y las autoridades aseguran que el riesgo para el pĆŗblico es āextremadamente bajoā.
El hantavirus puede transmitirse por contacto con orina, saliva o excrementos de roedores infectados. Sus sĆntomas iniciales incluyen fiebre, dolores musculares y dificultad para respirar.
Las autoridades recomiendan evitar barrer o aspirar Ć”reas contaminadas por ratones, ya que eso puede liberar partĆculas peligrosas al aire.

Hantavirus can spread through contact with urine, saliva, or droppings from infected rodents. Early symptoms include fever, muscle aches, and difficulty breathing.
Health officials also warn people not to sweep or vacuum areas contaminated by rodents, as this can release dangerous particles into the air.
