Hotel in Costa Blanca's Guardamar will take 'light' Covid-19 patients to help meet demand

ANOTHER hotel in Alicante Province will be adapted to take in ‘light’ Covid-19 patients, those who are recovering but need to remain in quarantine.

In order to meet the demands of the coronavirus, the Regional Ministry of Health has signed an agreement with the City Council to use the Hotel Meridional de Guardamar, a 54-room establishment associated with APHA, which will become the first complex designed for this purpose in the Vega Baja region.
The first patients are expected to be transferred from Monday, according to Alicante Plaza, in addition to health professionals who have been in contact with patients and need somewhere to stay to reduce the risk of infecting their families.
