A British woman is at the centre of a coronavirus panic in Lanzarote after testing positive following her arrival from the UK.
Nine other people in contact with her have been tested, while the tourist's husband is also said to be feeling unwell. Health chiefs in the Canary Islands confirmed the woman tested positive for COVID-19 and is now in quarantine.
The nine other people she had contact with also had to undergo a coronavirus test but all proved negative. The Brit is the first holidaymaker from the UK to test positive in Lanzarote since Spain opened its borders on June 21.
It was actually the woman's husband who felt unwell on arrival at their hotel and had a fever, however two tests for coronavirus proved negative.
