Ninth case of hantavirus reported in another Yosemite visitor
LOS ANGELES (MCT) — Another person was sickened by hantavirus traced to Yosemite National Park, the latest in an outbreak that has grown to nine cases and has killed three visitors since mid-June.
The latest case, which sickened a California resident, is believed to have originated in one of Curry Village’s signature tent cabins in early July, park spokesman Scott Gediman said. A total of eight cases have been linked to the insulated signature tent cabins; the other to the High Sierra Loop that connects Yosemite Valley with Tuolumne Meadows and other areas.
