Health alert issued as two suspected cases of deadly virus recorded in Europe | World | News

Two suspected cases of the deadly virus have been detected in Europe in the last 24 hours. Two patients with symptoms such as high fever, nausea and vomiting were hospitalized for treatment.

Suspected cases of Ebola have been reported in northern Italy. Health officials confirmed that a 31-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman showed symptoms of the virus after returning from Uganda. It comes at a time when parts of Africa are experiencing an outbreak of Ebola, which was caught through contact with the body fluids of an infected person or animal.

As reported by SunIt was stated that the man suspected of carrying the deadly virus was from Bulgarograsso and the woman was from Lurate Caccivo. They had both recently spent three months working in humanitarian aid in Uganda before returning to Italy.

Both were rushed to Milan’s Sacco Hospital, while the woman is likely to need treatment in intensive care. Although both had traveled to Uganda with their families, it is unclear whether they were suffering from any symptoms.

Guido Bertolaso, Lombardi’s regional welfare minister, said: “Seven Italian citizens, members of two different families, returned from Uganda from an area not far from the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.

“They returned after staying in these regions for about 3 months. They are cooperative, volunteer people who went to those regions to help people living in conditions much more difficult and problematic than ours.

“When we returned to Italy, 24 hours earlier, two of these citizens had symptoms of fever overnight; in one case, symptoms of very high fever with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, as well as mild neurological symptoms.”

Both patients had spent time near Uganda’s border with the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda. The region is being monitored due to an increase in Ebola cases.

The NHS continues to encourage Brits to “check the Ebola risk in your travel country before you go”. The Health Service adds: “If you are traveling to an area where Ebola has been reported, seek advice from a travel clinic before you go. It is best to do this at least 4 to 6 weeks before you travel, but you can still seek advice at the last minute if you need it.”

Data shows nearly 1,000 suspected Ebola cases have been recorded since May 15. The death toll is currently around 220.

Symptoms can begin between 2 and 21 days after infection, according to the NHS. They can appear suddenly and include flu-like symptoms such as high fever, extreme fatigue, and headache.
