An unprecedented Ebola-like death following a tick bite in Spain has led Portuguese health chiefs to reinforce vigilance at health centres in the centre of the country.
Noticiasaominuto explains this is national territory “closest to Spain” and thus the most likely to see patients who might become affected.
The death, which happened in August, was of a 60-year-old man who contracted Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever purportedly during a walk near Ávila, in the autonomous community of Castile and León.
