No indication of communication spread has been reported in Cape Town nor the Western Cape following the hanta virus outbreak.

are being monitored with caution following a non-exposure link to a confirmed
case elsewhere but they are considered extremely low.” Dwayne Evans from the Department
of Health and Wellness
The department says Hanta
virus does not spread easily between people as it requires very specific
exposure. This would particularly be to infected rodents or environments that
are contaminated.
Furthermore, Western Cape
Health Department teams have protocols in place to ensure no spread in instances
of testing.
