The Claim
Hantavirus is less infectious than SARS-CoV-2 was during the 2019–2020 COVID-19 outbreak.
The evidence strongly supports the comparison in ordinary public-health terms. SARS-CoV-2 spread efficiently between humans during the 2019-2020 outbreak, while hantavirus infections are usually rodent-to-human and rarely spread person-to-person. Limited Andes virus exceptions do not overturn the broader conclusion.
