The World Health Organization (WHO) declares a cruise-linked hantavirus outbreak over after the final exposed individual completes the required quarantine period and tests negative, according to reports from India Today and Al Jazeera. Both outlets state that the declaration follows the end of the last monitoring and quarantine measures connected to the outbreak aboard a cruise ship. With the final exposed person no longer under quarantine and testing negative, the WHO considers there to be no ongoing risk of transmission from the event. The reports describe the decision as an official close-out of the outbreak response, marking the end of containment steps such as quarantine and follow-up testing for those identified as exposed. The coverage indicates that the outbreak status changes only after all remaining public health actions reach their endpoint, specifically completion of the final quarantine and negative results. No additional outbreak developments are cited beyond the conclusion of the quarantine process.
