Hantavirus is a virus that can cause lung and kidney disorders. This disease is classified as a zoonosis because it is transmitted through rodents, such as mice and rats.

According to a report from the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes), from 2024 to the 16th week of April 2026, there were 251 suspected or presumed cases of hantavirus recorded in Indonesia.

However, of all these suspected hantavirus cases, only 9% were positively infected, while 88% were negative.

Here are the details of the number of suspected hantavirus cases in Indonesia from 2024 to the 16th week of 2026, according to Kemenkes data:

Total suspects: 251 cases
Negative: 221 cases
Positive: 23 cases
Under investigation: 4 cases
Unable to collect samples: 3 cases

The former Director of Infectious Diseases of the World Health Organization (WHO) Southeast Asia, Tjandra Yoga Aditama, reminded Indonesia to be vigilant about hantavirus, as the mortality rate from this disease is relatively high.

"The mortality rate of hantavirus in our country is 13%, which is clearly a significant concern, because so far the mortality rate of hantavirus in Asia is below 5%, and some even mention 1%," said Tjandra, as reported by Katadata.co.id (9/5/2026).
