Patients on a luxury cruise ship hit by a deadly hantavirus outbreak could not have been infected in Argentina's southernmost Tierra del Fuego province, said Juan Petrina, director of epidemiology and environmental health for the province, during a press conference on Friday. Petrina said the conclusion was based on the time frame between the patients' time in the province and the onset of symptoms.
