World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Tuesday called on affected countries to follow the UN body’s hantavirus advice as health security measures differ between them.

“I hope they will follow the advice and recommendations we are making,” Tedros told a news conference in Madrid. The WHO has advised a 42-day quarantine and constant monitoring of high-risk contacts.
