The information was sent to the mayor of the nearby town of Carife, where the driver turned out to be residing. It was then decided that the man and his whole family would be quarantined and tested for the virus.
Everything seems to indicate that this particular incident was a "false alarm" and the 45-year-old was not infected. Nonetheless, it clearly shows what the impact of the epidemic can be on long-distance transport and the risks it brings.
