Six people have now gotten sick with Hantavirus at Yosemite National Park.

Now, park rangers have shutdown a part of Curry Village, which is where all six people fell ill.

The park has recently come under sharp criticism for not doing more to prevent the outbreak.

KSEE 24 obtained documents from the California Department of Health dating back to 2007. They said Yosemite was not following recommendations to prevent the virus.
