A hospitalized flight attendant who worked on a KLM flight that carried a female cruise ship passenger who subsequently died of Andes virus—the hantavirus that has infected several people on a cruise ship—has tested negative for the virus, Inside Medicine has learned.
The source was the Director-General of the WHO, Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus.
If the flight attendant had tested positive, it would have been a major escalation in this story.
