Doctors warn deadly hantavirus could spread through Britain’s sewers
One specialist warned that ‘all hell could break loose’ if sewer-dwelling rats contract the disease from infected Britons.
Medical experts have raised fears that Britons self-isolating after the hantavirus outbreak could pass the deadly disease on to rats living in the sewer system.
One outbreak specialist, speaking anonymously to The Telegraph, warned: “I am incredibly concerned that patients who are self-isolating may develop the virus and then pass it on through the sewers and infect sewer rats.”
