I really wouldn't worry about it.
It has a mortality rate similar to (untreated) rabies and ebola, and you're pretty unlikely to be infected by it unless you're in very rural parts of Malaysia, India or the likes and are in close proximity to fruit bats. If you are then rabies is probably a much greater concern. Zero cases ever reported in the UK.
I realise these are stressful times but it's probably best to try and stay worried about things on our doorstep rather than those far, far away (shark attacks in Sydney, ravenous polar bears in the Arctic etc.)

The info from the UKHSA (UK Health Security Agency) is about as legit and unbiased as you're going to get anywhere, ever. Ever.
If you don't believe them as a source of information you might as well make up your own 'facts'
