(CNN) -- The sometimes deadly MERS-CoV virus has spread to Italy, the World Health Organization said in statements this weekend.
Sunday's announcement that two female patients had contracted the virus
follows one Saturday that said a 45-year-old man, who had recently
traveled to Jordan, had become infected. They are the first three known
cases in Italy.

The health agency said
the three Italian patients were all in stable condition. The two cases
reported Sunday were a 42-year-old woman and a 2-year-old girl who are
close contacts of the man, the WHO said.
