Fresh News: China Hit By Another Deadly Hanta-Virus As Its To Records Numerous Death
There’s the name of a new virus trending on social media called the #Hantavirus. And this is causing a whole new level of panic among netizens that it was another COVID-19 ready to cause a new pandemic.
China’s Global Times reports that a man from China’s Yunnan province tested positive for the Hantavirus on Monday.
He died while on his way back to Shandong Province for work on a chartered bus. 32 other people have been tested, the report added.
There are a lot of rumors spreading on the causes of Hantavirus.
However, freepressjournal elaborating on the causes wrote that humans who contract the hantavirus usually come into contact with rodents that carry the virus.
Hantaviruses normally infect rodents but do not cause disease in them. Humans may become infected with hantaviruses through contact with rodent urine, saliva, or feces.
“Rodent infestation in and around the home remains the primary risk for hantavirus exposure. Even healthy individuals are at risk for HPS infection if exposed to the virus,” Centre for Disease Control and Prevention said in its website.
Although Hantavirus can’t be passed on from person to person, it can be contracted if someone touches their eyes, nose or mouth after touching rodent droppings, urine, or nesting materials, states Centers for Disease Control and Prevention fact sheet.
Among the early symptoms of the virus include fever, headache, muscle ache, abdominal pain, dizziness, chills and abdominal problems, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. About half of all HPS patients experience these symptoms.
Late symptoms include lungs fill with fluid and shortness of breath.

Fares will be automatically adjusted against the increase in fuel prices – GPRTU (See Details)
Fares will be automatically adjusted against the increase in fuel prices – GPRTU (See Details)
The Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) has announced that prices will automatically be adjusted whenever petrol prices increase by 10%.
The union says a 15% increase in transportation costs will be repeated whenever fuel prices reach 10%.
Richard Yaw Amankwah, GPRTU’s Deputy Secretary-General for Operations, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the union’s decision to estimate transportation costs and fuel prices was intended to benefit the industry.
“We have said that whenever the cost of petrol increases by 10% or more, we will increase fares,” he said.
“We are still looking at the cost. We are just wasting our time. “The same amount will be spent on travel expenses when it reaches 10%,” he told GNA.
On March 1, 2022, the prices of the previous petrol and diesel pump prices increased by 30 liters per liter, to GHC 8.20.
Some market experts predict that if nothing is done to reduce the cedi value of the dollar against the dollar, petrol prices could rise to GHC9.0 a liter.
The price volatility of petroleum products is due to the continued increase of Brent Crude in international markets.
The Institute for Energy Security (IES) predicted a 4% increase in petrol and diesel prices this week, citing cedi performance against the dollar as a major factor.
The IES has ruled that cedi is down 4.11 percent to close GHC6.85 to the dollar in the previous price window.
The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) also predicts that prices for petrol, diesel and LPG by 4.6%, 3.4% and 2.5% will increase by 2.5% from March 1, 2022.
In the First Price Window of March 2022, it predicted that petrol and diesel would be GHC8.190 a liter and LPG would be GHC9.163 per kilogram.
