Hotel Near G7 Summit Boarded Up Due to COVID Outbreak, Security for German Delegation Among Hotel Guests

A hotel located just one mile from where world leaders are meeting at this week's G7 summit in Cornwall, England, has been shut down to a COVID-19 outbreak among staff.

The Pedn Olva hotel in St. Ives said it will "fully close" after discussing the new infections with Public Health England (PHE). It is believed that 13 employees have tested positive, according to local outlets.

On Thursday, Cornwall reported 60 new infections, nearly tripling the number of cases recorded the day before.
