Al Roker Asked to Test for Hantavirus After Attending Daughter's Paris Wedding
Al Roker, a well-known weathercaster, revealed that he was asked to voluntarily test for hantavirus after returning from his daughter Leila's wedding in Paris. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is taking precautions to prevent the spread of hantavirus, a rare but fatal respiratory disease transmitted through contact with infected wild rodents. This request for testing comes in the wake of several infections reported on the MV Hondius, a Dutch cruise ship, where passengers contracted the disease. The World Health Organization has indicated that more cases are expected, although there is no sign of a larger outbreak. Roker did not disclose whether he underwent testing.
