What Is Hantavirus? Here’s What to Know About the Hantavirus Disease
Concerns are growing online following discussions about hantavirus, a disease that can spread to humans through contact with infected rodents.
According to health experts, hantavirus can be transmitted by inhaling particles from infected rodent urine, droppings, or saliva. Early symptoms often begin like the flu, including fever, fatigue, and muscle aches, before becoming more serious in severe cases.
Despite fears circulating online, there is currently no global outbreak or lockdown related to hantavirus. Medical experts also state that the disease is rare, though there have been reported cases in different parts of the world over the years.
Treatment mainly focuses on supportive medical care, especially early treatment to reduce complications.
It has been reported that the Nigerian Air Force has spotted some terrorist hideouts in Borno State.
The force was able to take out some of the facilities used as hideouts and disarmed some of the fighters.
The Director of Public Relations for the Air Force, Ehimen Ejodame, shared that they are beginning to catch up with and evoke fear among the terrorists.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
