MV Hondius 探險郵輪上的安地斯型漢他病毒(Andes virus)群聚事件,讓部分病毒學家與公共衛生專家對世界衛生組織(WHO)的處理方式提出公開質疑。他們認為,WHO對外傳達「公共風險低」的訊息過於保守,可能低估了空氣或短距離吸入傳播的潛在風險。
目前疫情規模仍然相對有限,但事件引發高度關注,因為安地斯病毒是目前唯一已知可在人與人之間傳播的漢他病毒,而郵輪環境又涉及長時間共處與密閉空間,增加傳播複雜性 [1][

此外,研究人員也指出:漢他病毒在郵輪上出現群聚感染幾乎沒有先例,因此感染來源與傳播途徑仍有許多未知之處 [3]。
目前沒有確定證據顯示病毒已經透過空氣廣泛傳播,但一些科學事實讓專家認為這個可能性不能忽視:
WHO的公開訊息多次強調:
但在實際操作層面,相關指引卻建議採取多層防護措施,例如:
部分專家認為,這形成了一種落差:公開訊息偏向安撫,而操作指引卻顯示事件需要嚴格控制。
基於「預防原則」,研究人員與公共衛生建議目前主張:
ECDC建議保持1至2公尺距離、佩戴口罩並持續追蹤病例與接觸者 [2]。
WHO表示,目前沒有跡象顯示更大規模疫情正在形成,但也提醒,因為潛伏期較長,未來幾週仍可能出現新病例 [16]。
因此,儘管整體公共風險被評估為低,這起事件仍被視為重要的公共衛生案例:
