The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, has officially requested for state regulations today, to avoid a spike in the number of coronavirus cases at Easter, saying that restricting contagion should be everyone’s priority especially as other countries are talking about dates for international travel.
In statements to the media this afternoon, he voiced his concern in relation to Semana Santa (Easter), saying that whenever there is a rest period or holiday, as happened in summer and Christmas, or a celebration, as happened at new year and over Carnival period, alarm bells go off, and we can’t afford another step backwards.
