“Parties in hotel rooms, large bottles, boat trips and a massive reggaeton concert in the Palma bullring are behind the coronavirus outbreak that has infected more than 700 students from eight autonomous communities and forced the isolation of another 2,000 in Madrid who participated in end-of-year trips to Mallorca.

The Government of the Balearic Islands has identified several sources of contagion and is investigating nine hotels in the Arenal de Llucmajor area while conducting a case for a very serious offence against the organizers of a reggaeton concert that was suspended by the police while it was being held by the widespread breaches of protection measures. “
