Many people seem to be acting as though the pandemic is over, but unfortunately that is far from the truth. This week alone 96 new outbreaks were registered in the Canary Islands with 634 people infected, mostly from family gatherings or people meeting socially, and one has died.
48 of these have occurred in Gran Canaria, 44 in Tenerife, two in El Hierro, one in Fuerteventura and one in La Palma; and 54 are family outbreaks, 29 from a social gathering, making 86% between the two, nine in the work place, two in educational centres, one in a hospital and one in a social health centre.
In general, all outbreaks have less than 10 associated cases, except for five from Gran Canaria, all from people meeting socially, usually in bars, with 11, 12, 12, 13, and 17 cases each. In addition, another large outbreak has been reported in Tenerife among 21 migrants.
