Reports said 32 other people have been tested positive with many other tests yet to be confirmed.
It has been found that humans who contract the Hantavirus usually come into contact with rodents — rat and mice.
Rodents are carrier of Hanta virus.
Hantavirus can be contracted if someone touches their eyes, nose or mouth after touching rodent droppings, urine, or nesting materials.
Early symptoms of Hantavirus include fever, headache, muscle ache, abdominal pain, dizziness, chills and abdominal problems.
Hantavirus patients also have symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
Late symptoms include lungs fill with fluid and shortness of breath.
