salisbury - The couple who got unwell in the British city of Salisbury on Sunday did not come into contact with the nerve gas Novitsjok. That's what the police said in a statement.

The man in his forties and the woman in his thirties were examined at the hospital. ' We can now confirm that there is nothing to assume that novitsjok is the substance. Both persons remain in the hospital for observation '', is the statement from the police.

On Sunday evening, a large area around an Italian restaurant was dropped off in the center after two people became unwell. Because of the recent events in Salisbury, many precautions were taken and the emergency services were present in large numbers.

According to the police, it is still unclear whether there is a crime. The research is still ongoing. Except in the immediate vicinity of the restaurant, the deposits have been removed.

Salisbury is the home of Russian former spy Sergei Skripal. He was poisoned at the beginning of this year with the nerve gas novitsjok, according to the British government by two Russian spies. Skripal's daughter Joelia also became ill. Both survived. A couple from a neighboring village also became ill, possibly because they accidentally came into contact with novitsjok. The woman died, the man recovered.
