A Corona patient sets fire to a room in a Spanish hospital, trying to escape
A Covid-19 patient caused a panic when he set fire to his mattress while trying to escape from a hospital in the southern Spanish city of Cadiz.
"La Pose de Cadiz" newspaper, quoting the authorities, reported that the 63-year-old man set fire to his mattress in his room on the sixth floor of "Puerta del Mar" university hospital yesterday evening.
The man had planned to cause chaos and take advantage of it to escape unnoticed, but the plan failed and the suspect in setting the fire was arrested and is still in the hospital.
The patient is now confined to a high-security ward of another hospital in Kadesh.
While the fire was extinguished relatively quickly, the man managed to cause chaos and panic after flames were seen spewing from the windows.
