Singapore Isolates 2 People Who Traveled on a Cruise Ship with a Deadly Virus

Singapore's health agency was informed about two people who traveled on a cruise ship.

One is a 67-year-old man with a runny nose, and the other is a 65-year-old woman with no symptoms.

Test results are not available yet.

There is a picture of the cruise ship Hondius.

The two people traveled on the ship and then flew to Johannesburg with a person who had the virus.

The person with the virus did not come to Singapore.

If the two people test negative, they will still be quarantined for 30 days.

They will be tested again before they can leave and will be monitored for 45 days.

If they test positive, they will stay in the hospital and the authorities will find people they were in contact with.

At least eight people who were on the ship have gotten the virus, and three have died.

The World Health Organization thinks the risk to global health is low.

The virus usually spreads through contact with infected rodents, but it can also spread between people in some cases.

Symptoms include fever, fatigue, and breathing problems, and can be very serious.

There is no specific treatment for the virus, and doctors can only provide supportive care.

The authorities are still trying to find out how the people on the ship got the virus.
