Join this Insight Webinar hosted by IPC Partners in partnership with the Healthcare Infection Society (HIS) for a concise, evidence-led overview of hantavirus epidemiology led by Dr Jon Otter. We will explore the current international outbreak, examine transmission routes, and consider organisational preparedness for managing suspected and confirmd cases. The session will also discuss practical infection prevention and control implications, focusing on case definitions, risk assessment, and environmental hygiene. Dr Phil Norville will chair the session and facilitate the all-important Q&A. We hope that you can join us!
