TENERIFE — “It’s absolutely awful,” says 45-year-old Lara Pennington, one of more than 700 guests spending a second day in lockdown at a four-star Tenerife hotel on Wednesday after four cases of coronavirus were detected there among a group of Italians. Like other guests joined by Reuters over the phone, she complained about a lack of information. The hotel said in a statement it was cooperating with authorities and did not respond to any questions for comment. The judge will rule on a daily basis whether some of the hotel guests will be allowed to leave. “Asymptomatic hotel guests can have a normal life inside the hotel, with the required prevention measures, while the guests with symptoms will remain isolated in their rooms,” regional government official Maria Teresa Cruz Oval said.
