These Canary Islands revelers in their birthday suits sure wished they had hazmat suits.
Nudists were shocked when a group of migrants arrived on their Gran Canaria beach and were described as having Ebola-like symptoms, Metro U K 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.
