212 of these cases were associated with travel abroad. Donna, currently in Crete, is in an induced coma according to a GoFundMe page set up by her niece, Claire.
Donna’s husband Sid remains by her side in Greece, while Claire and the rest of the family are seeking financial assistance to cover the costs of additional family members travelling to support the couple during this difficult period.
According to the BBC, the source of the disease has not yet been identified. However, easyJet Holidays, the company through which the couple booked their holiday, has relocated customers from the hotel as a precautionary measure.
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has also issued an emergency alert for the island following the diagnosis.
