Health
There are no specific health risks associated with travel
to Italy. EU citizens can make use of Italy's health services
provided they have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Cases
of the deadly bird flu were found in swans in southern Italy and
Sicily, but there is a low risk of human infection; as a precaution
all close contact with wild, caged and domestic birds should be
avoided, and poultry and egg dishes should be cooked
thoroughly.
