Coronavirus: patient in Mallorca cried with thirst - cockroach in hospital food
She was not looked after at the Hotel Palma Bellver, nor was her health monitored.
And that's not all: she didn't get enough to eat or drink.
She suffered from hunger and thirst.
"It's shocking how we're being treated out here," she told
Wales Online
on the seventh day of quarantine.
Sophie recounts her desperation: “All I wanted was for the hotel staff to keep an eye on me.
When I got here the first night I didn't even have water.
I rang and rang the doorbell, asked and begged for them to give me water.
At some point I literally cried for water. "
You tried unsuccessfully to order something to eat outside.
According to the
BBC
, the hotel staff had removed the dishes from her.

It wasn't until her story spread that she got better - because many third parties were so affected by her fate that they intervened.
A woman brought Burdge a food basket, which she heaved onto her balcony, with the bed sheet turned into a freight train.
The hospital denies Burdge's allegations: it describes the facility as hygienic and "more like a hospital than a hotel, and therefore meals (four a day) are served by the hospital catering."
Burdges, however, sticks to her story and wants to warn other vacationers of such a fate: "I was not prepared and I do not want anyone to ever feel like I did again," said the Briton *.
