AMSTERDAM – Health officials confirmed Friday that a Dutch airline crew member who was exposed to a deadly hantavirus case has tested negative for the infection, according to the World Health Organization.
The KLM flight attendant had come into contact with a woman who later died from hantavirus in Johannesburg, South Africa. As a precautionary measure, the crew member was taken to an Amsterdam hospital on Thursday after showing potential symptoms of infection.
The World Health Organization announced the negative test results, clearing the flight attendant of any hantavirus infection concerns.
