A flight from Wuhan, the
epicentre of the new SARS-like coronavirus in China, landed at
Rome's Fiumicino airport early on Thursday.
The 202 passengers on board the flight went through a special
'health channel' at the airport, where procedures to prevent
contagion was applied.
Among other things, scanners were used to take the
passengers' temperature and make sure no one had fever.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to decide later on
Thursday what measures to take regarding the virus, which has
claimed 17 lives so far.
