“Person-to-person transmission of ANDV has only been documented following close and prolonged contact.”
ECDC in this particular case. I’m quickly looking for quotes on my phone. But I doubt WHO have a different response. As the current academic knowledge of the virus is just that. The most studied case was of the Argentinian chilean epidemic when it was though that all contagions had close and intimate contact.
If the flight attendant case is positive then we should reevaluate our knowledge on the virus.
At this early stage of the investigation with limited available information, we consider everyone on the ship to be close contacts, due to the closed setting and shared social areas and activities, aligned with the precautionary principle.
If a cruise ship is close and personal, a fuselage is obviously close and personal.

Yeah, how close and personal is a flight attendant expected to get? This doesnt seem good.
