@Yogi: these tests and others like ebola, zika, etc have to be carried out in specialist microbiology centres, not just any random place or new setup built in a day! Spain’s Centro Nacional de Microbiología is in Majadahonda.
Let us hope not, but it will occur eventually, so surely having a resource to test more regionally would make more sense rather than having to send to Madrid? Considering the multinational composition of the Islands, especially Palma and extra especially the cruise ships which regularly roll up here. Floating bug boats my Father-in-law called them.
