The tests carried out on the two suspected patients hospitalised in isolation at the Sacco Hospital in Milan have come back negative for the Ebola virus, with Italy's Health Ministry stressing that the risk of Ebola in the country "remains very low".
The results followed a health alert issued in the northern Lombardy region after the 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 during the weekend with other members of their families after spending around three months in the East African nation as humanitarian aid workers.
