A group of migrants arriving on a Canary Islands nudist beach caused panic among naked holidaymakers when they reported having symptoms associated with Ebola.

To the shock of nudist holidaymakers, the 19 migrants landed on the Gran Canaria beach of Maspalomas about 8.30am and were isolated for seven hours while authorities struggled to decide what to do.

Several of the migrants said they were from Sierra Leone and Guinea – two of the most badly affected countries in the current outbreak.See more photos below. 


The group, which landed on the holiday island earlier this week, were kept huddled together at the waterside while beachgoers were separated from them, Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported.

The Red Cross arrived and quickly established a cordon separating the group from the nearby nudists, then began taking their temperatures while wearing protective gear such as breathing masks and gloves.
