A boat of 19 Africans arrived at the Maspalomas sand dunes on Gran Canaria in the hope of finding a better life in Spain, El Mundo reported.
But holidaymakers were alarmed when Red Cross workers left masks, food and water on the beach 50 metres away from the group, many of whom were showing signs of a fever they thought could be Ebola.
At least three of the group were reported to have said they had come from Guinea and Sierra Leone where, along with Liberia, most of the deaths from the deadly virus have been reported.
Four of the immigrants were taken to hospital while others were put in a holding camp to await being sent home to their home country. The Government of Gran Canaria later confirmed none of the group had the disease.
