What happened

A total of 20 cases of dengue have been identified in Fano at present. Nevertheless, public health authorities recommend that individuals presenting with influenza-like symptoms undergo specific diagnostic testing, particularly those residing in areas where outbreaks have been documented, to facilitate the monitoring of the situation. The alerts were disseminated to approximately twenty individuals who were referred by family physicians for further diagnostic examinations. Meanwhile, the mayor of Fano, Luca Serfilippi, convened with representatives of Enel Green Power to discuss the necessity of mosquito disinfestation measures, with particular emphasis on the Albani Canal in the section traversing the city centre.
