After possible exposure to a hantavirus victim, a South African passenger has tested negative for the virus, but health authorities are now monitoring nearly 100 close contacts linked to an outbreak aboard the luxury cruise liner MV Hondius. While no South Africans were on board the ship, several passengers later travelled on flights with South Africans, and medical personnel in South Africa treated two infected patients.
