Whats up with (Iberia in) Madrid ?

[GP7280-POC]

Just received the information that hundreds of Pax are stuck in Madrid since Friday the 3rd of January ? Rumours are, that 7 ATC´s staff members are sick with a sort of influenca virus ? According to pax of Iberia, nobody is able to give any information.

Has anybody more valuable info on this ?

thx
