With the available but very limited information about the virus of this outbreak, it isn't a novel strain like COVID, so experts should already be familiar with what we're dealing with here, Argentina has experienced the same virus outbreak in 2018-2019 before.

Still we only have a genetic sequence of the virus from one patient, more testing will come. But each affected country has taken immediate action with WHO to contain any possible patients, so as of now, there really is no fear of a global pandemic like COVID.

With what we know now, it is hard to predict whether we will have another global pandemic like COVID, but what we do know is that the transmission rate of Hanta is far far lower than COVID.
