Local authorities and business owners in the Argentine mountain village of Epuyén are working to restore the region’s reputation following a hantavirus outbreak that significantly impacted the local community and tourism industry. The outbreak, which led to several fatalities and forced dozens into mandatory quarantine, prompted strict health measures in the Chubut province. Officials are now emphasizing that the situation is under control, as they seek to reassure potential visitors and mitigate the economic damage caused by the public health crisis.
- The hantavirus outbreak was centered in the Patagonian town of Epuyén, located in Argentina’s Chubut province.
- Authorities implemented mandatory isolation for dozens of residents to prevent the further spread of the virus.
- The disease, typically transmitted via contact with infected rodents, caused multiple deaths during the peak of the outbreak.
- Local tourism experienced a sharp decline as visitors avoided the area due to health concerns and travel restrictions during the peak season.
- Government health officials have since indicated that the area is safe, maintaining that the immediate risk of transmission has been effectively neutralized.

How can they say their whole damn PROVINCE is Hanta free? Laughable!
Cruse ships always will have infectious diseases as there are many passengers on board who aren’t thoroughly tested for any infections they have before boarding. It only takes one to infect many.
Just check where CCP China has gain-of-function virus labs in South America.
Was bill gates on the schip???😂
They do eat alot of rodents in that part of the world.
First bats now rats
Was DEFINITELY Argentina. NO QUESTION
of course they're responsible. they would always deny it because that's the stock response but if it started once they eft the port they must have got it from the port
With a president as hopeless as Argentina, the situation is clear: a hopeless man who has no interest in the country. Sure, there's an epidemic there because of the lack of hygiene.
The media is causing hysteria
As soon as it was known that there was an outbreak on the cruise ship, it should not be allowed to dock ANYWHERE until it was contained. Allowing people to disembark is how it spreads throughout the population. Have we learned nothing?
Why go bird watching near a landfill?
So, Argentina has given us Racism and Killer Virus. Damn!!! Well done Argentina.
"The Mice have a Plan ".
Douglas Adams.
Of course they will say the virus is not present. 🙈
Bollerrrrrrrrrttks.
Passing the blame, clutching at straws… well they have to blame someone and they picked Argentina. I don't believe any of this…. fear, fear, fear..
what do these ppl do to afford this crap
Chronic reporting from the BBC as usual. How it made it's way onto the vessel.. it did a bit of creeping and crawling, pot banging and dancing.🤣🤣🤣
I am sorry for the poor souls on this ship, but I am with Bill Burr concerning cruise-ships!
I am surprised passengers have already been repatriated….Fingers crossed. 🤞
There are literally "zero" cases in Ushuaia! Shouldn't all the landfill workers be infected? I think there's something more behind this, like Argentina leaving the WHO.
Ushuaia ?! Lot more lite "Uhan"
The goverment of argentina is covering something up. The virus coearly is not from south argentina. They got it somewhere else in the north. There is probably already a cluster there. Also note that in Argentina overall Hanta deaths have doubled from last year and they are currently fighting with the WHO over the handling of this.
You don't know if it's present in the environment if you're not looking for it. Also, that guy isn't wearing his mask correctly. 🤣🤣🤣
Came from Nebraska 😂😂😂
Lest just hope it is as savage as the overhyped COVID 🙏
Eternal and Living God
Please have mercy on us and on the whole world
Have these disease experts forgotten that the plague spread by ships? 😮
People, don't believe this nonsense, don't be fooled by another PLANDEMIC. People, don't be fooled by another masquerade 😷😷😷, don't let yourselves be masked 😷😷😷.
Wondering where the virus came from? Look no further! It’s GAZA. How is the virus spread? Have you seen Gaza? You do humans like they are animals, you forget nature is alive and the wind does soar! Blame whoever you want, I say check GAZA! This is nature trying to get humanity to do something about GAZA. Now that the rat problem is becoming all nations and all peoples problems, will they go clean up GAZA? Or allow the wind to keep soaring?. How long before they realize nature telling them to go clean up GAZA?.
Those letting GAZA be infested with RATS and RODENTS forget what goes around comes around. Messing with NATURE. You don’t believe it pisses nature off how low humanity has become? The one who can soar the winds to those who is not that far away and is their neighbor?. Nature has its ways of forcing humanity to do the right thing. They gon figure it out sooner rather than later. GAZA needs be cleaned up. Those very far away acting like the wind is that far away from them but nature works in mysterious ways for 2 has already docked inland amidst the untouchables. Keep playing with nature until it’s too late. CLEAN UP GAZA. Or keep guessing where the virus is coming from.
DO NOT DO TO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULDNT WANT DONE TO YOU. NATURE HAS SPOKEN.
Those 2 young people….🙄 Some people only want what they want… And feel invincible.
Stop all flights to Argentina. Isolate the Argentina Virus.
What do you expect them to say "Yeah, we started it, come visit"
TOURIST SPOT IS WHERE THE MAN MADE VIRUSES ARE RELEASE 😂😂😂😂😂
Well, it sure as hell didn’t come from Africa.

The million dollar question is how a region with a cold Sub Antarctic environment like Tierra Del Fuego as well as its cities like Ushuaia would cause the spread on hantavirus?
Usually, hantaviruses thrive in Subtropical and Tropical environments, not a Subarctic or Subantarctic one.
Argentina’s ally Israel has a biological weapons programme. Just saying…
Everybody getting Santavirus for Christmas this year.😥
