Tunisian authorities have confirmed the country's second case of coronavirus on Sunday.
The latest patient is a 65-year-year old Tunisian man who had returned from Italy. He has been quarantined at a university hospital, according to a statement by the health ministry.
No other details were provided.
The first patient - also a Tunisian man who had entered the country by Italy but in this instance by boat - is said to be "improving" but remains under observation in a hospital in the resort city of Sousse, according to a health official.
Earlier this month, Tunisia suspended its passenger ferry service from the northern Italian city of Genoa, a few days after the first case of coronavirus was confirmed.
All flights to Italian cities were also moved to a separate terminal at Tunis' international airport.
