The waiver covers fans from five qualified African nations—Algeria, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Senegal, and Tunisia—as long as they hold valid FIFA tickets and use the FIFA Pass system. Hantavirus response still dominates health headlines: The MV Hondius outbreak linked to the Andes hantavirus has killed three people and triggered evacuations and monitoring across multiple countries, while WHO and Africa CDC stress the wider public risk remains low but testing and surveillance gaps are a major concern.
