Several outlets report that HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responds to questions about a hantavirus outbreak by saying the situation is under control. Mediaite quotes Kennedy as telling reporters, “We have this under control and we're not worried about it,” when asked about the outbreak on Monday. The Independent also frames the remarks as Kennedy addressing the outbreak and emphasizing that he is not concerned about it.
Across the accounts, the core point is Kennedy’s public characterization of the outbreak’s status and risk level, presented in the context of a reporter question. The reporting does not include specific epidemiological details such as case counts, geographic scope, or whether new guidance is issued, but focuses on Kennedy’s reassurance.
Overall, the sources agree on the substance of Kennedy’s message: he asserts that the hantavirus outbreak is being managed and that officials are not alarmed by it at this time.
