German security staff ‘may camp on beach’ after COVID outbreak shuts G7 hotel

A hotel housing security staff and media for the G7 summit in Cornwall is to shut completely following an outbreak of COVID-19.

The Pedn Olva hotel in St Ives - the host town for the summit of world leaders and just one mile from Carbis Bay - said it would "fully close" after discussing the outbreak with Public Health England.

It's understood 13 staff are infected out of around 17 workers.
