Editorial Policy

HantaWorld adheres to strict editorial guidelines to ensure the intelligence we publish is accurate, objective, and actionable. Our platform serves as a critical aggregation tool, not a tabloid news outlet.

1. Primary Source Attribution

Every statistic, outbreak report, and travel advisory must be linked to a primary, authoritative source. Acceptable primary sources include the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), and official national health ministries.

2. Verification Standards

We utilize a strict verification badge system. Reports are published only after corroboration from a primary health authority. Items without direct source confirmation are excluded from the live platform experience.

3. Neutral Tone and Clarity

Our content must remain objective and data-driven. We strictly prohibit sensationalism, fearmongering language, or speculative conclusions regarding transmission vectors or outbreak severity.

4. Corrections

If epidemiological data is revised by health authorities (e.g., a suspected case is reclassified as negative), our records are immediately updated to reflect the correction, and the "Last Updated" timestamp is refreshed.
