(ANSA) - Naples, August 22 - There was a new case of ants at
Naples' San Giovanni Bosco Hospital two days ago, local media
said on Thursday.
This time the insects were found in an area devoted to code
green cases at the ER ward.
There have been several cases of ant sightings in the
hospital and other nearby ones over the past year.
Last week the relatives of a recently deceased 61-year-old
woman from the southern town of Angri filed a complaint to
Carabinieri police saying that they found her corpse covered in
ants at Scafati hospital, in the province of Salerno south of
Naples.
Prosecutors ordered that the woman's medical records be
seized.
In a statement, the local health authority gave its
condolences to the woman's family and said the ants had come
through a crack in the skirting board.
It said it had taken measures aimed at preventing the arrival
of insects, including one on August 7, and added that it had
alerted officials to take action.
