Of today’s new cases, Gran Canaria has the most with 747 new cases, Tenerife has 626, Lanzarote 190, Fuerteventura 52, La Palma, 18, La Gomera 12, and just one in El Hierro.

Regarding incidence rates the islands now have an IA7 of 1,128.66 and an IA14 of 1,876.10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. The R rate of contagion is now 1.30 and hospitalisations have increased by 20 (5%) to 396 in wards and 63 in ICU.

Fuerteventura is still the island with the lowest incidence rates in the Canaries, and Tenerife has the two highest with an IA7 over 2,400 and an IA7 over 1,300 cases. This week the Public Health Committee will once again review the alert levels for each island and any extra restrictions for Kings Day on the 5th and 6th January.
