Latest update
UKHSA continues to work closely with partners in response to the hantavirus outbreak.
UKHSA laboratories have confirmed a positive hantavirus test result for an individual in Tristan de Cunha, who was previously considered a probable case by WHO with exposure on MV Hondius.
This is not a new case.
The samples were collected in May and the individual is now clinically well at home in Tristan de Cunha.
All necessary public health actions have been carried out.
There is no change to the public health risk to the UK population from Hantavirus, which remains very low.
