Global Signal Map
Regional hantavirus activity from verified public health sources. Markers appear only when confirmed reports are published and linked.
What this map shows
- Verified events with a direct link to the original report.
- Confidence tier and last-verified date for each point.
- Empty state until a source-backed report exists.
What this map does not show
- Social media reports, rumors, or unverified news.
- Inferred or paraphrased case counts.
- Live outbreak alerts unless directly published by an official agency.
How to read a marker
Every marker on the map links to the original report and carries a confidence tier. Tap a marker to see the source, event date, and last-verified date.
Confirmed
Official public health agency confirmation.
Reported
Reported by a credible source, not yet officially confirmed.
Unverified
Uncertain sourcing — shown only with explicit caution label.
Speculative
Preliminary or anecdotal — context only, not a case claim.
Signal layers
Two automatic layers, ranked by source reliability:
- Official agency (green) — CDC HAN / WHO DON advisories mentioning hantavirus. Confirmed by the agency itself.
- News signal (blue) — media mentions indexed by GDELT. Reported, not confirmed cases.
- All circles sit at a country centroid only, never a precise location.
3 signals with weak country metadata were left off the map and only appear on /sources.

How regions are tracked
Map markers appear only when a public health agency publishes a report with a verifiable source, date, and location. We do not add signals from social media, news summaries, or unverified claims.
Each marker shows: source name, publication date, last-verified date, confidence tier, and a direct link to the original report.

Data status: No verified live map points are currently published. When CDC, WHO, or state agencies publish reports with clear sourcing and location data, they will appear here. Until then, the map shows geography only — not an absence of disease anywhere. Not medical advice.
