With many residents set to begin spring cleanup, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is reminding everyone to use precaution against Hantavirus.

A Hantavirus infection is caused by breathing in contaminated airborne particles from droppings, urine or saliva of infected deer mice.

When cleaning rodent-infested areas, the SHA recommends avoiding activities that raise dust and prevent direct contact and breathing in air particles that may be contaminated.
