Caught in chlorintine.
A British woman was arrested on Monday for breaking a mandatory coronavirus-related quarantine at her Tenerife, Spain hotel pool. The tourist flouted the Paradise Park Hotel’s strict requirements by taking a rebellious dip — a move which won her few friends among her fellow guests.
“She’ll get arrested,” comments an off-screen woman in a video of the incident uploaded to Facebook by hotel lodger Dave Leigh, adding “she don’t want to get arrested out here, I’ll tell ya, they don’t treat you very lightly.”
The bikini-clad rule breaker then begins screaming complaints about spending “seven days in lockdown,” and demanding a room upgrade before doing a somersault in the water. Tourists in the area have been told to stay in their rooms to stop the spread of the deadly virus.
“We’d all like an upgrade, love,” responds the off-screen woman.
As the swimmer continues to frolic about, hotel staff and law enforcement look on — and one police officer begins to strip, guests cheering him from above.
“Well done,” screams one woman as the cop jumps into the pool and chases the swimmer, taking her hands behind her back and bringing her to the side, where she’s forcibly dragged out by another officer.
“She deserves that,” says the commenter.
Although the rogue swimmer’s fellow inn-mates made vocally clear they weren’t fans of her stunt, other lodgers admit that conditions aren’t the easiest.
“We’re confined to rooms during the day which is frustrating, but we are able to go to the restaurant at meal times as usual,” another quarantine lodger, James O’Neill, tells Jam Press. “The staff here are being really friendly. There’s not much they can do about the situation.”
A video O’Neill recorded of the incident has racked up over 192,000 views since he posted it to Facebook Live.
In another recent attempt to avoid a coronavirus quarantine, a Spanish man hid in an inflatable dinosaur costume and wandered Spain’s empty streets — before being stopped by police.
The repercussions for breaking self-isolation rules are no joke: One British man now faces three months behind bars for failing to quarantine.
