Arizona health officials are monitoring a person who recently returned to the state after a polar expedition cruise connected to a deadly hantavirus outbreak. The individual is considered low risk and has no symptoms. The Department of Health Services (ADHS) stated that the individual's local health department has been notified and is working closely with state officials to assess any potential risk. Experts believe this may not be the strain typically seen in Arizona and that the cruise outbreak is likely not the variant more commonly associated with the region. The outbreak aboard the cruise has been linked to three deaths and nine reported cases.
