In a shocking turn of events, two employees at Frankfurt Airport have succumbed to malaria, with health officials attributing the infections to mosquitoes that likely traveled on planes from malaria-affected regions.
The first fatality was reported in early July, with the cause of death confirmed only posthumously. The second worker passed away in August, as disclosed by the Frankfurt city health authority.
Authorities revealed that six airport workers had been infected, raising concerns about safety protocols regarding health risks associated with international travel.
