Aljazeera reports from Madrid in Spain that as many as 1,000 tourists and staff were on Tuesday confined to a Tenerife hotel in the Spanish Canary Islands after a visiting Italian doctor tested positive for coronavirus, according to health authorities. Tourists and staff were being tested for the virus at the H1 Costa Adeje Palace hotel, in the resort of Adeje in the south of the island.  Police are guarding the hotel to prevent anyone other than health workers from entering or leaving, and guests were being confined to their rooms. The unidentified doctor who was diagnosed with the virus on Tuesday voluntarily presented himself for tests as he suspected that he had coronavirus symptoms. He had spent a week on holiday with his wife at the resort, which is popular with British tourists when he became unwell. He is being treated in an isolation unit at the University Hospital Nuestra Senora de Candelaria hospital. More tests will be carried out in Madrid today in order to confirm the diagnosis.
