Tourist tested positive for hantavirus after being in France

A French-Argentine tourist tested positive for the Hantavirus after his stay in France, several months after an outbreak on a cruise ship. The man had mild symptoms and is now asymptomatic. He was isolated in Spain with his family after reporting symptoms in France. Authorities are tracing his travel history and coordinating efforts across Europe. The virus strain identified is the Andean variant, which was linked to the 'MV Hondius' cruise ship outbreak where three people died. French authorities did not confirm a direct connection between this case and the cruise ship outbreak. Another patient, a French woman who was hospitalized for nearly three months, has been discharged from intensive care.
