A health alert has been issued in Lombardy, Italy, after two suspected Ebola cases were detected in Como. A woman and a man, both humanitarian aid workers returning from Uganda, showed symptoms consistent with Ebola. They were transferred to Milan's Sacco Hospital for testing. Regional welfare minister Guido Bertolaso confirmed emergency procedures but stated there is no certainty it is Ebola, with malaria being a more likely diagnosis. The Health Ministry reassured that the risk of Ebola in Italy remains low and monitoring is ongoing.
