CARACAS, July 21 (Xinhua) -- Venezuela's Health Ministry on Tuesday confirmed three deaths from hantavirus in the northeastern state of Anzoategui, while ruling out evidence of person-to-person transmission in the country.

"We report the regrettable deaths of three patients in Anzoategui with confirmed diagnoses of hantavirus," the ministry said in a statement. It added that there was "no scientific evidence of person-to-person transmission in our country," noting that the virus is transmitted by rodents in rural and agricultural areas.​..

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

The Ministry of Popular Power for Health informs the public about two events that recently occurred in the states of Anzoátegui and Barinas.

We regret to report the deaths of three patients in Anzoátegui with a confirmed diagnosis of Hantavirus. This virus is transmitted by rodents in rural and agricultural areas, primarily by inhaling particles of urine, feces, or saliva in enclosed spaces. There is no scientific evidence of person-to-person transmission in our country.

In Barinas, we regret the loss of two medical professionals whose causes are yet to be confirmed. These are localized events that do not represent a risk to the community in general.

The two events are unrelated, and any connection between the recorded situations has been ruled out.

The National Public Health System remains deployed and operational to guarantee the health security of all Venezuelans. The final results of the investigation will be communicated in due course through official channels
