ABOUT THIS SITE
About
AndesVirusTracker.com
AndesVirusTracker.com is a real-time public health information site tracking the 2026 Andes virus outbreak. We aggregate and present data from official health authorities — WHO, CDC, and ECDC — in a format that is accessible, accurate, and actionable for the public.
OUR MISSION
During a public health event, accurate information is a public good. Misinformation spreads faster than viruses. Our mission is to provide a single, reliable reference point that answers the questions people are actually asking — in plain language, sourced from official authorities.
The Andes virus outbreak of 2026 is particularly significant because Andes virus is the only hantavirus strain confirmed to spread person-to-person. This makes accurate public communication especially important. We built this site to fill that gap.
EDITORIAL STANDARDS
Every data point on this site is sourced directly from WHO, CDC, or ECDC official communications. We do not publish case counts from unverified sources.
If a data point is updated by an official source, we update it within 24 hours and note the change. Historical data is never silently altered.
Nothing on this site constitutes medical advice. Every clinical page includes a clear disclaimer. Our risk tools are informational only.
We present data as-is. We do not inflate severity or downplay risk. Our risk level (currently MODERATE) reflects WHO's own published assessment.
The Protect Yourself section contains Amazon affiliate links. These are clearly labeled. Affiliate revenue supports site operations and does not influence editorial content.
