THL: Two Finns monitored after hantavirus exposure on flight

Finnish health authorities are monitoring two travellers who were possibly exposed to the Andes strain of hantavirus during a flight from Johannesburg after sitting near an infected passenger linked to a cruise ship outbreak that has killed three people. The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare, known as THL, said the two passengers were on a KLM flight from Johannesburg to Amsterdam on 25 April. Both have since returned to Finland and remain without symptoms.
