LISBON — Standing on their balconies, holidaymakers at a hotel on the Portuguese island of Madeira patiently waited for news after a fellow guest tested positive for the coronavirus and they were put in isolation.

The guest, a Dutch woman, arrived last Thursday and was staying at the Quinta do Sol hotel in Funchal, the largest city in Madeira.

"We all need to be aware of how serious this situation is in the face of the great challenge that lies ahead," the president of Madeira's regional government Miguel Albuquerque told a news conference.

Though this is the first coronavirus case on the Atlantic Ocean island, Portugal already has 448 confirmed cases and reported its first death related to the outbreak on Monday.
