Health authorities in the United Kingdom have reported that a third British citizen is suspected of contracting hantavirus in connection with a fatal disease outbreak aboard a high-end cruise vessel.
The UK Health Security Agency announced Friday that they have confirmed hantavirus infections in two other British citizens as part of their ongoing surveillance of the dangerous outbreak. The cases are linked to incidents on the remote South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha.
Officials continue to monitor the situation as they track the spread of this serious viral infection among passengers from the luxury cruise ship.
