TV doctor Hilary Jones has blasted quarantine measures at a coronavirus-hit Tenerife hotel as the Foreign Office said it was keeping the situation under review.
Some 168 Britons are among hundreds of guests being kept at the four-star H10 Costa Adeje Palace in the south-west of the Spanish island after at least four guests, including an Italian doctor, tested positive for coronavirus.
All of those on site were initially told to stay in their rooms but local authorities have now said people without symptoms can move around the hotel, including to the pool and bar.
Guests were sunbathing in masks and enjoying free supplies of food and alcohol at the hotel poolside this afternoon after learning they would be staying well into March.

He said: ‘Listen I’m running for London mayor I care about Buckingham Palace, I care about , what is going on on home soil.
‘I don’t care about away games. If you’re in Canada, you’re playing for Canada’s team, you’re not playing for this team.
‘I care about this team what’s going on in London, William you’re my forward. Listen if you’re on my team, you’re gonna win.(sic)’
