MADRID: Hundreds of people were confined to their rooms at a Tenerife hotel on Tuesday after an Italian tourist was hospitalised with a suspected case of Covid-19 coronavirus, health officials in Spain’s the Canary Islands said.
“Hundreds of hotel clients are being monitored for health reasons and the degree of supervision will be assessed during the day, but so far, we’re not talking about quarantine,” health authority spokeswoman Veronica Martin told AFP, confirming that the Italian tourist “was staying at this hotel while on holiday in Tenerife.” - AFP
