One of the immigrants who were traveling on the boat that arrived on the island this Tuesday and who was transferred to the Hospital with a fever of 38.5 has tested negative for the coronavirus. This has been confirmed by the Lanzarote Health Services Management, which will perform PCR tests on all occupants of the boat.

For the moment, the only case that presented symptoms compatible with the disease has already been ruled out, after the security protocols were activated when it was detected that he had a fever.

In addition, a second immigrant had also been transferred to the Molina Orosa Hospital, although in his case with "general malaise". As for the rest, they have finally been sent to the Máguez Nature Classroom, where they will remain in isolation until the results of all the tests are known.
