ILLINOIS (CBS 58) -- A potential hantavirus case is being investigated in an Illinois resident, according to state health officials.

The Illinois Department of Public Health says it's investigating a potential case in someone from Winnebago County, located near the Illinois-Wisconsin border. 

Apparently, the case is not the same deadly strain connected to the hantavirus-hit cruise ship. 

Officials in Illinois believe this person got the virus while cleaning a home with rodent droppings. 

Additional testing is needed to confirm it is hantavirus and that could take up to 10 days.
