Covid update: New cases jump back up to over 2,000 and the R rate increases too
The Ministry of Health have released their latest data which shows that there have been 2,069 new cases of coronavirus detected in the Canary Islands today (1,094 more than yesterday, when 975 were registered), with 15,718 still active of which 300 are in hospital wards and 38 are in ICU.
The number of Covid patients in ICU has dropped by three, but that is only because four people have died in the last 24 hours, three people with previous pathologies aged between 76 and 97 years old have died in Gran Canaria, and one, 56 years old without pathologies and unvaccinated, in Tenerife.
The accumulated incidence rate over 7 days has dropped and now stands at 415.31 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the Canary Islands, but the 14-day has increased again to 825.94.
Another concern is that the R rate of contagion has doubled in the last two weeks from 0.67 to 1.33, which means that the spread of the virus has doubled also. Ideally, it should be under 1.00 because that means it is under control.
