Case summary

Italian young man from Calabria under quarantine after brief contact on a KLM flight with a Dutch woman infected during the MV Hondius outbreak. WHO-linked reporting on May 12 said he was one of four Italians under monitoring and had developed symptoms serious enough to require biological samples to be analyzed at Rome's Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases. This is a symptomatic secondary-contact investigation, not a cruise passenger case.
