Two new cases of hantavirus have been declared, after the cruise ship at the centre of the outbreak was evacuated.

The 22 people who were on the British repatriation flight are being monitored at a specialist medical centre on the Wirral.

The whole incident is causing consternation because of its high fatality rates.

Despite this, New Malden GP, Dr Nick Merrifield, explains why he feels there is no cause for alarm.
