Hantavirus is not airborne and can only spread to people if they come in contact with excretes (urine and faeces) and saliva of rodents or exposure to dust from their nests.
Here are some further details if you are interested:
Hantavirus can cause Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) and Haemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome (HFRS).
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a severe, sometimes fatal, respiratory disease in humans caused by infection with hantaviruses.
Haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is characterized by high fever, malaise, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, backache, abdominal pain, oliguria/renal failure and systemic haemorrhagic manifestations.
HPS can't be passed on from person to person, while HFRS transmission between people is extremely rare.
