Due to the change in focus of the Public Health Committee on which indicators they are now monitoring to manage the pandemic, we will only be updating the epidemiological data twice a week, at the end of the week on a Sunday, and on a Thursday when the Governing Council review the data for any level changes or de-escalation of restrictions.
As reiterated on Thursday, they are now focusing on hospital pressure as opposed to incidence rates, although they will still be monitored to pre-empt a rebound in the spread of the virus.
In the last week the Ministry of Health has reported 9,164 new cases and 15 deaths in the Canary Islands, with 14,748 still active of which 292 Covid patients are in hospital wards and 33 are in ICU, a total of 325 people, compared to 337 a week ago.
Over the last week, the 7-day incidence rate has decreased from 459 to 421, but the 14-day rate has increased from 737 to 889 for the islands as a whole. Currently Gran Canaria, which has just been lowered to Level 3, has seen the biggest increase with their IA14 now over 1,019 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
