Hospital pressure has stayed all but the same with 282 Covid patients hospitalised and 35 in ICU, and active cases have dropped slightly.
This week Tenerife has overtaken Gran Canaria to be the most infected island with 7,544 active cases as of today, compared to 5,101. In the last 24 hours, there have been two more deaths from Covid verified in the islands, meaning there have been 12 in the archipelago this week and 1,604 since the pandemic began.
Looking at incidence rates, Tenerife and La Palma have seen increases this week due to more new cases, whereas as Fuerteventura, which has the lowest of all the islands, and Lanzarote have dropped. The IA7 for the islands is still over 400 and the IA14 is 843 reflecting the slowdown in the downward trend.
However, Fuerteventura has now dropped to alert Level 2 for Covid due to the evolution of its epidemiological data, joining Lanzarote, with all other islands remaining at Level 3.
