They refer to four unconnected transmission episodes in the province of Lodi (36 confirmed cases), in the province of Latina (2 cases) and in the province of Rome (29 cases with exposures in different parts of the metropolitan city of Rome and 1 case in Anzio, for which investigations are underway to verify any epidemiological links. All cases, whose outcome is known, have recovered or are improving. Since the beginning of the year, 230 imported cases of Dengue have also been notified from other countries, for a total of 298.
