Covid update: Active cases drop by over 87,000 today in the Canary Islands

Today’s data from the Ministry of Health, shows a major update in the number of active cases and medical discharges, after the validation of these cases in the ReVEca information system. This doesn’t affect the levels or any risk changes in the islands as the cases have already been correctly accounted for, however, it does mean that they have effectively ‘caught up’ with validating people’s recovery and adjusted the figures accordingly.

This adjustment means that today the islands have registered 87,938 medical discharges leaving 18,470 active cases. Of these 487 are in wards, 73 are in ICU, and 17,910 people are in home isolation.
