Lucca Patient Tested for Congo Disease Shows No Contagion Risk

A man who returned to Lucca, Italy, from Congo with flu-like symptoms was hospitalized and has since recovered and been discharged. The Ministry of Health is conducting checks, and samples are being analyzed by the Istituto Superiore della Sanità. This follows reports of a disease outbreak in Congo, initially thought to have caused 140 deaths, but later revised to 30-40.
