ROME/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A second European hotel was in lockdown on Wednesday as authorities around the world battled to prevent the spread of coronavirus, although a senior U.S. health official said a pandemic was inevitable and urged Americans to prepare.
A similar story was unfolding at the four-star H10 Costa Adeje Palace hotel in Tenerife on the Canary Islands, which was locked down on Tuesday after an Italian doctor and his wife were found to be infected. Spain also reported its first three cases of the disease on the mainland. Iran’s coronavirus death toll rose to 16 on Tuesday, the most outside China. Iran’s deputy health minister and a member of parliament were among those infected.
Worsening outbreaks in Iran, Italy and South Korea - where the number of confirmed infections rose by 169 to 1,146 on Wednesday - are raising the risk of pandemic and unsettling global markets.China quarantined 94 passengers on a flight from the South Korean capital Seoul to Nanjing on Tuesday after three showed signs of fever, the state broadcaster CCTV reported.
Several European Union countries advised their citizens not to visit northern Italy, although the outbreak was already spreading to other regions in the south.
