A hantavirus outbreak linked to a cruise ship has reached 11 confirmed cases in France, with one patient in critical condition requiring an artificial lung. French authorities, including President Macron, have stated that the situation is under control and are coordinating with EU countries to manage it better. However, health officials reported uncertainty about whether the strain has mutated. The critically ill patient, initially misdiagnosed with anxiety, is now in the final stages of supportive care. WHO has indicated more cases may arise, sparking concern among travelers to popular tourist destinations.
