Nudists were shocked when a group of migrants arrived on their Gran
Canaria beach and described having "Ebola-like" symptoms, Metro.co.uk
reported.
Some of the 19 migrants were from Sierra Leone and Guinea, two of the
West African countries ravaged by the deadly disease. They were
looking for a better future in Spain.
The migrants were kept in a pseudo-quarantine until a dump truck took
them away to be processed. The startled nudists were kept at bay
during the tense episode.
Four of the migrants were taken to a hospital, but none of the 19 was
found to have Ebola.
The beach, Maspalomas, can only be reached by walking across sand
dunes for 2 miles.
San Bartolome Mayor Marco Aurelio Perez told Spanish newspaper El
Mundo that the island is an "established destination" for migrants.
"Unfortunately, illegal immigration has become a common sight in the
West," Perez said.
