The hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship has escalated to 11 confirmed cases, with a French woman now in critical condition and on artificial lung support. Initial misdiagnosis led doctors to attribute her severe symptoms to anxiety. French health officials, including President Macron, assert the situation is currently under control but have emphasized the need for closer coordination with European countries to manage the outbreak. Amidst rising concerns, a new case has also been reported in Spain. Health authorities are monitoring additional suspected cases while reaffirming that there is no evidence of widespread hantavirus circulation within France.
