Around 200 residents in a Spanish village have been told to quarantine after just one person tested positive for coronavirus.
The majority of residents in picturesque Sotillo de las Palomas are elderly - prompting fears that any outbreak could be devastating.
Now the local mayor has asked everyone to stay at home for at least ten days after one of the few young residents, a girl aged 12, tested positive for coronavirus.
Fernando Resino Carrillo says the vast majority of residents are at risk because of their age and he is worried that the virus will spread.

Now health authorities have started tracking people who may have been in contact with this family in recent days.
The girl hasn't needed hospital treatment and her five relatives are awaiting results - though they are showing no symptoms.
It is not known how the girl contracted the virus but tests are being carried out on other children she has been in contact with.
In the decree, Mr Carrillo has asked residents to "voluntarily confine themselves for at least ten days, limiting daily activities (going to the shop or the pharmacy) to one person in the home."
He says not to go out unless it is for an urgent reason and to take extreme health precautions, especially in homes with children.
Anyone with coronavirus symptoms is also being asked to tell the health authority.
Residents have also been urged to avoid social gatherings, stick to social distancing and wear masks.
The streets of Sotillo de las Palomas, in the province of Toledo, are already reported to be empty as residents heed the advice.
At the last count, the hamlet had 201 residents.
In the 1950s, Sotillo de las Palomas had close to 700 residents but less than a third remain because people have moved on to new homes elsewhere in Spain or abroad.
