PARIS, March 20 (Reuters) – An employee at French nuclear fuel company Orano’s La Hague site in Normandy has died of meningitis, the company said on Friday, adding that there was no evidence the case could be linked to a deadly outbreak in Britain.
Britain is facing an unprecedented meningitis outbreak that has killed two people in southeast England this month, with a total of 27 cases recorded.
