Hantavirus risk remains low, CDC says, citing its ‘playbook’ response
Two doctors with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday that the risk to Americans from the deadly hantavirus outbreak remains low, saying the agency is “engaged at every step.”
In a media briefing, they described the agency’s response, which has been criticized by some infectious disease and public health experts as taking a back seat to the World Health Organization and other groups.
