However, the hantavirus generally does not pass from person to person. It may take one to eight weeks for the infection to be detected.
If a person is infected with hantavirus, then symptoms of hantavirus may have problems like fever, pain, cold, body pain, vomiting.
If the condition of the hantavirus infected person worsens, there may be difficulty in filling the lungs with water and breathing.

According to an estimate then, there were 60 cases of people infected with the Hantavirus, out of which 50 were kept quarantined.
According to the CDC, death rate in Hantavirus is 38% and there is no ‘specific treatment’ of this disease.
