A third Brit is now suspected to have hantavirus following a horror cruise ship outbreak.
The patient is currently on the remote Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha, where the MV Hondius stopped in mid-April, the UK Health Security Agency says.
Two other Brits are confirmed to have the disease, including one man who was evacuated from the ship on Wednesday and is currently in a stable condition while receiving medical care in the Netherlands.
The other man remains in intensive care after he was flown to Johannesburg last month.
Five of the eight suspected hantavirus cases from the ship have been confirmed, including one of the three passengers who died.
