6:30 am: Chinese city announces 14-day quarantine in free hotels for travelers from Japan, South Korea
The eastern city of Weihai has announced that all travelers, both Chinese and foreign nationals, returning from Japan and South Korea will need to stay in hotels for a 14-day quarantine. Accommodation will be free. The move comes amid intensifying concerns on China's social media platform Weibo over a growing number of coronavirus cases in South Korea.
Hundreds of staff and tourists staying at a hotel in Spain's Canary Islands were reportedly put under lockdown on Tuesday, El Pais newspaper reported. It comes after one person that had stayed at the establishment was later found to have tested positive for the coronavirus. A spokesperson for the Canary Island's health department told Reuters on Tuesday that health checks were underway for those who had contact with the patient — thought to be Spain's third case of COVID-19.
