Coronavirus: Spanish victim lived at infected Madrid nursing home

MADRID - A 99-year old woman who became Spain's third coronavirus death was a resident at a Madrid nursing home where at least nine people have been diagnosed with the infection, local health authorities said on Thursday .

The social affairs authority, which manages Madrid's nursing homes, had earlier put the number of positive cases at 11. Preventative measures, such as setting up isolation zones and barring people with symptoms from communal areas, will be rolled out across the Spanish capital's network of care homes.

On the Spanish island of Tenerife, Reuters TV footage showed several busloads of guests leaving a hotel where they had been locked down since Feb 25 after several cases of the virus were detected there.
