Covid update: The Canaries starts December with 396 new cases and 4 deaths
The latest data from the Ministry of Health has informed that December has started with 396 new cases of coronavirus today, the highest daily total since August 13th, in this sixth wave of the virus. They have also confirmed four Covid related deaths, three in Gran Canaria and one in Tenerife, all aged over 68 with previous pathologies.
Of the new cases today, 185 are in Gran Canaria, 135 are in Tenerife, 30 are in Fuerteventura, 27 are in Lanzarote, 18 are in La Palma, and 1 is in La Gomera. Today’s data will be the final day that is included in the weekly review of alert levels tomorrow at the Governing Council meeting.
This is the last meeting before the so-called ‘bridge’, the 5-day bank holiday next week, and it is fully expected that Gran Canaria and Tenerife will go to Level 2 for this festive period as their 7- day incidence rates are both now over 100, and Gran Canaria’s 14-day rate is approaching 200. The good news is though, that the ‘extra’ restrictions don’t really affect too much anyway.
Fuerteventura, on the other hand, continues to have an upwards trend with indicators heading towards Level 3 territory. Currently, 300 is the threshold for the 14-day incidence rate and the island is at 292, but other indicators, such as hospital pressure, are still low on the island.
