The Ministry of Health has reported the safe return to Italy of an Italian doctor from Doctors Without Borders who worked at the Salamat health center in Congo's Bunia-Ituri region during the current Ebola outbreak. The woman, who is asymptomatic, will arrive in Rome today and be taken to Spallanzani Hospital, where she will be quarantined and monitored medically. The doctor had direct contact with patients who tested positive for the virus on May 16. Two days later, she conducted emergency surgery on a youngster injured in a grenade explosion. The child was suspected of having Ebola, although testing has yet to confirm this. The Ministry reaffirmed that there are no Ebola cases in Italy at this time and that the country's alert level remains very low, while all monitoring and prevention measures are in place. Meanwhile, the situation in Central Africa has deteriorated. Uganda has opted to restrict its borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the majority of the infections are concentrated. The World Health Organization has warned of a "catastrophic collision between disease and conflict": continuous armed conflicts are creating mass displacement and making it increasingly difficult to contain the virus and the work of health workers.
