A health alert has been issued in Italy's northern Lombardy region after two suspected cases of Ebola were detected in the province of Como.
The cases concern a woman from Lurate Caccivio and a man from Bulgarograsso who returned from Uganda in the past 24 hours with other members of their families after spending around three months there as humanitarian aid workers.
Both have developed symptoms consistent with the Ebola virus, including high fever, nausea, vomiting and intestinal problems.
They were quickly transferred to Milan's Sacco Hospital, a specialist facility for the management of high-risk infectious diseases, where tests required under national and international protocols are under way.
'No certainty yet that it is Ebola'
