A World Health Organization official said on Friday the US confirmed that an individual who had an inconclusive test was later confirmed to be negative for hantavirus, bringing down the total global cases to 10 from 11.

The CDC said the risk to the general public from hantavirus remains low.

The sole American who returned a positive test aboard the MV Hondius has since tested negative three times, bringing the total number of reported cases down to 10.
