Swede from hantavirus ship no risk to others, says acting state epidemiologist

The Swede left the ship with other passengers at the end of April. The region's infectious disease control department, in consultation with the passenger, has made the arrangement, which "works perfectly," Sturegård tells the newspaper.

There is no major risk of spreading the infection, but it is mainly about the possibility that someone who has been on board may become ill.

Exactly what the measures look like in this case is unclear, but this does not involve forced isolation because the Infection Control Act does not allow it.

SvD has been in contact with the Swedish passenger, who says he is feeling well.
