The Italian Ministry of Health said in a statement that a patient infected with the new strain of Corona virus was discovered in Italy at the Celio Military Hospital in Rome.

The hospital identified the "genome of the SARS-Cove-2 virus" in that person who had tested positive for the new strain that had been discovered in Britain during the past weeks.

The patient had recently returned from Britain by plane, and he is currently being quarantined with his relatives, according to the same source.
