Two more Italian nationals staying at the H10 Costa Adeje Palace Hotel on the Spanish island of Tenerife, have tested positive for the diagnosis of a Covid-19 (Coronavirus) infection.
On Tuesday, authorities reported that an Italian doctor and his wife had been infected with the new coronavirus, triggering the quarantine of their hotel, where 118 Belgians are staying.
The other two infected Italians travelled with the initial Italian couple. The hotel continues to be under quarantine, which was enacted following the discovery of the first case.
