🦠 Hantavirus Awareness

Hantavirus is a rare but serious disease spread mainly through contact with infected rodents and their droppings, urine or saliva. While cases remain extremely uncommon in South Africa, it is important to stay informed and rely on trusted health information sources.

Know the symptoms, practise good hygiene, and seek medical attention if you feel unwell. Early awareness can help protect lives.

📍For accurate and reliable health information, follow the Northern Cape Department of Health and the Department of Health South Africa.
