Traveling and Hantavirus
E4 Reddit (hantavirus search) · 2026-05-13 · United States
I’m 4 weeks pregnant and have a flight scheduled for a few days from now. I’m getting a bit anxious with the hantavirus Andes strain. I wasn’t worried about going, until the new CDC guidance came out with exposure now being “approximately 6 feet of a symptomatic case-patient in an included space for a cumulative duration of 15 minutes”. This spikes my anxiety a bit and I am looking for some opinions. I have my N95s that I’d be wearing regardless cause I know my immune system is lower now. But what would you do? Cancel the flight? Just be extra cautious? Even if I wasn’t pregnant I’d be asking these questions, but now with this news of a baby on the way, it’s definitely making me think extra hard about if! Appreciate your thoughts 🩷 submitted by /u/Personal-Buffalo-276 to r/pregnant [link] [comments]
