According to health ministry officials, the man arrived in Athens on June 21 from Germany and flew to Drama. He was admitted to a hospital in Drama, near Kavala, a city in northern Greece on Monday and was being treated at a hospital in the northern port city of Thessaloniki. The patient had travelled earlier to Italy and Austria. The case appeared on the day the World Health Organization had lifted what had been its last remaining SARS travel warning in Beijing.
