Abu Dhabi hotels allow some guests to leave after coronavirus scare

Two luxury hotels in Abu Dhabi, which had been in lockdown amid concerns about the coronavirus during a professional cycling event, allowed some guests to leave on Sunday after they tested negative for the disease, company spokespersons said. The W Abu Dhabi and the Crowne Plaza Abu Dhabi had been placed under lockdown on Friday as authorities screened all guests, including scores of professional cyclists. The guests at the two hotels, on Yas Island in the United Arab Emirates' capital, included 140 professional cyclists participating in the final two stages of the UAE Tour, which was also canceled after the tests.
