After CORONA, Now HANTA VIRUS : Is this the END??

COVID19 is still at its extreme but now HANTA?

We are still trying to recover from this disaster happening worldwide meanwhile another virus strikes in China. This is so called HANTA VIRUS.

Even when the world is trying to find a cure for the dreaded coronavirus pandemic, a report in Global Times said that a man from China's Yunnan province died from Hantavirus while on a bus to the Shandong province.

Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare but deadly viral infection. It is spread by mice and rats. They shed the virus in their urine, droppings, and saliva. Tiny droplets with the virus can enter the air. People can get the disease if they breathe infected air or come into contact with rodents or their urine or droppings. You cannot catch it from people. 

Early symptoms of HPS include

1. Fatigue
2. Fever
3. Muscle aches, especially in the thighs, hips and back
4. Headaches
5. Chills
6. Dizziness
7. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or abdominal pain

Later symptoms include coughing and shortness of breath.

Controlling rodents in and around your house is the best way to prevent infection. If you have been around rodents and have symptoms of fever, deep muscle aches, and severe shortness of breath, see your doctor immediately.
