"Regarding the hantavirus. We are saying that Ukraine is a natural focal point for the circulation of hantaviruses. However, our predominant variant of hantavirus infection is fever with renal syndrome, whereas what we see today in the media is with pulmonary syndrome," Liashko pointed out.
"As for our Ukrainians who were crew members, we have all the data on them within the framework of international health regulations. We know where they arrived from the crew,"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs previously reported that 5 Ukrainian crew members were sent to the Netherlands, where the vessel's operating country is located.
