The World Health Organization reported that individuals may be quarantined for up to two months if they show symptoms of the Hanta virus upon disembarking a cruise ship. An outbreak of the Andy's strain of Hanta virus has killed three people off the coast of Spain. While the virus can be transmitted person to person in rare cases, the most common transmission method is through rodent droppings. Lisa Barrett, an infectious disease expert in Halifax, advised that individuals should not immediately sweep up mouse droppings to prevent infection and should use masks. New case counts include 128 cases and 75 cases in East Sabah, following 39 previous cases. The Ministry of Labor announced that the risk of human-to-human transmission is low if passengers from the cruise ship suspected of a Hanta virus outbreak enter Japan.
