Risk assessment

Puumala virus has limited presence in northeastern France (Alsace, Ardennes) and causes mild HFRS — not the severe HPS associated with the MV Hondius cluster's Andes virus. France is among the European countries monitoring returning travelers from South America during the 8-week incubation window. ECDC assesses general European risk as 'very low'.
