Implementing containment measures in the 2018–2019 outbreak reduced R₀ below 1, causing the outbreak to burn out. Health officials expect the current MV Hondas outbreak to remain geographically contained and not escalate into a global pandemic. The 2018–2019 Andes virus outbreak had a basic reproduction number of approximately 2. Identifying the virus and implementing isolation measures is expected to reduce transmission and allow the outbreak to resolve.
