Third Hantavirus Death

A third person has died from catching hantavirus at Yosemite National Park.

Four other people are currently ill with the disease, after staying at the park, in California.

Ten thousand people are believed to have stayed at the Curry Village campground, and all could have caught the disease.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has warned all visitors to the camp ground to be checked for the deadly illness.

Worries now are that one of the cases may have come from the High Sierra Camps, which is in a totally different area.

If that is the case then thousands more could have been infected.
