A KLM flight attendant who had contact with a Dutch woman who died from hantavirus has tested negative for the virus. The woman, who had been on a KLM flight from Johannesburg to Amsterdam, died shortly after boarding due to her deteriorating condition. Sixty individuals who had contact with the woman, including five with intensive contact, are being monitored by health services. Two evacuated cruise ship passengers being treated in the Netherlands have tested positive for the hantavirus.
