Hantaivíreas: saineolaithe dóchasach nach mbeidh ráig eile ann. The World Health Organization has confirmed that nine people have the virus and two others are showing symptoms of the disease. Tá sé dearbhaithe ag an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte go bhfuil an hantaivíreas ar naonúr agus go bhfuil siomptóim an ghalair ar bheirt eile. It is understood that all eleven of these cases are related to the cruise ship Hondius which had an outbreak of the disease. Tuigtear go mbaineann gach aon cheann den aon chás déag sin leis an long chrúsála an Hondius a raibh ráig den ghalar uirthi. The head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that unfortunately this is not the end of the story and that it is likely that more passengers from that ship will become ill in the coming days. Ceannaire na hEagraíochta Domhanda Sláinte, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, dúirt sé nach é sin deireadh an scéil ar an drochuair agus gurb é is dóichí go n-éireoidh tuilleadh paisinéirí ón long sin tinn sna laethanta amach romhainn. On the contrary, he said, there is currently no likelihood of an outbreak of the disease anywhere else. Os a choinne sin, arsa sé, níl aon chosúlacht ar an scéal faoi láthair go mbeidh ráig den ghalar in aon áit eile. On the other hand, however, he said, another outbreak cannot be ruled out because the anti-virus is a virus that lies dormant for a while before reaching a peak of development. Os a choinne sin arís, áfach, a dúirt sé, ní féidir ráig eile a chur as an áireamh mar gur vireas é an hantaivíreas a tholgann faoi go ceann scaithimh sula dtagann barr forbartha air. The World Health Organization advises people with the disease to quarantine for six weeks and Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that most of the countries involved are currently adhering to that advice. Comhairlíonn an Eagraíocht Dhomhanda Sláinte do dhaoine a bhfuil an galar orthu coraintín sé seachtaine a dhéanamh agus dúirt Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus go bhfuil bunáite na dtíortha atá i gceist an uair seo ag cloí leis an gcomhairle sin. The head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States, Jay Bhattacharya, said, however, that the same advice might not be applied in that country. An té atá i gceannas ar an Lárionad um Ghalair a Chosc agus a Rialú sna Stáit Aontaithe, Jay Bhattacharya, dúirt seisean, ámh, go mb’fhéidir nach gcuirfí an chomhairle chéanna i bhfeidhm sa tír sin. Two Irish women were among the passengers aboard the Hondius. Bhí beirt bhan as Éirinn i measc na bpaisinéirí a bhí ar bord an Hondius. They are now at home and are said to be in good health. Tá siad sa bhaile anois agus deirtear go bhfuil siad i ndea-shláinte. RTÉ News and Current Affairs Nua
