This Hanta Virus case comes at the time when the total count of those who are infected by Corona Virus (COVID-19) globally is nearing to 400,00 mark, and scientists are yet to find the cure for it. The Global Death has crossed the 16,500 marks recently.

The late symptoms appear 4-5 days after the initial phase of illness, which includes coughing and shortness of breath, which is a bit the same as the Symptoms of COVID-19. The Hantavirus Syndrome can be fatal with its mortality rate of 38%.
An Infected may also develop sudden intense headaches and blurred vision. This accompanied by flushing of the face, inflammation, or redness of eyes or a rash.

However, if the Victims are recognized in the early stage and provided with proper healthcare, the chances of their long term survival are increased.

Further on the personal level, one should maintain personal hygiene and must keep the surroundings neat and clean to live a safe and happy life.
