THE HAGUE, May 7 (Xinhua) -- A KLM flight attendant has been hospitalized with a possible hantavirus infection, the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport confirmed on Thursday.
Dutch public broadcaster NOS reported that the flight attendant is experiencing mild symptoms and currently in isolation at Amsterdam University Medical Centers, where she is undergoing testing.
The flight attendant had been in contact with the Dutch woman who died of hantavirus in Johannesburg on April 26. A day before her death, the woman briefly boarded a KLM flight from Johannesburg to Amsterdam, but the crew ultimately decided not to allow her to travel because of her medical condition. ■
