obsolete suppression by virus of host STAT1 activity by negative regulation of STAT protein import into nucleus (obsolete GO:0039567)
OBSOLETE. Any process in which a virus stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of host STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription-1) activity by retaining STAT1 in the cytoplasm, so STAT1 is unable to translocate to the nucleus to activate transcription of its target genes.
