1 dead, 1 seriously ill from hantavirus outbreak at Yosemite National Park

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

One camper has died and another camper got seriously ill after an outbreak of the hantavirus in Yosemite National Park in California.

Both campers were staying in the park's popular canvas tent cabins, but the park says those cabins were not the source of the virus.

You can get the hantavirus from breathing in urine or fecal matter.
