Active cases drop today with more people discharged than diagnosed for Covid

As always Monday’s updates from the Ministry of Health see a lower figure than normal of new cases as it includes data from Sunday, but on this occasion a great positive is that there were more people discharged today (2,356) compared to those who have tested positive (2,102), meaning that active cases in the Canary Islands have reduced slightly.

Of the new cases, Gran Canaria has the most with 1,190 followed by Tenerife with 538, Lanzarote with 172, and Fuerteventura with 141.

The islands have also reported 10 more deaths in the last 24 hours, five in Tenerife, four in Gran Canaria, and one in La Palma, bringing the total to 1,283 fatalities since the start of the pandemic.

The deceased were all aged between 64 and 96 years old, five were men and five were women. All presented previous pathologies and were hospitalised due to Covid.

There has also been a vaccination update today that shows 59,431 children aged 5-11 years old have had their first jab, which is 43% of the target population. Also, over 615,000 people have now had their booster jabs as extra protection against Covid.
