Michael Osterholm on Hantavirus Risks and Transmission

Dr. Michael Osterholm appeared on CBS to discuss recent Hantavirus concerns, emphasizing that it is not a coronavirus and has limited person-to-person transmission. He noted that while the "Andes strain" from South America can be more dangerous, the current risk is low, and standard monitoring of symptoms and temperature is sufficient for containment.
