Of the two newly reported hantavirus infections, one is believed to have originated outside Yosemite's Curry Village campground — the first such case in the park outbreak. Two more cases of hantavirus infection have been linked to Yosemite National Park, one fatal and the other believed to have originated in the park's high country, marking the first time the outbreak has been traced beyond the Curry Village campground.
