Hantavirus Declared Thailand's 14th Dangerous Communicable Disease The recent designation of hantavirus disease as Thailand's 14th dangerous communicable disease has raised concerns about a possible outbreak in the country.
This classification is significant because it reflects the severity of hantavirus symptoms, which can range from mild to life threatening.
Unlike COVID 19, which spreads quickly due to its high transmissibility, hantavirus requires close contact and is much more difficult to transmit.
