The Ministry of Health has reported 346 new cases of coronavirus today, meaning that 106,079 people have now tested positive for the virus in the Canary Islands since the pandemic began. Of these, there are now 5,306 active cases with 219 in hospital wards, 37 in ICU and the rest in home isolation. They have also confirmed two more Covid related deaths of two men aged 58 and 65 in Tenerife who were already hospitalised due to Covid.
Of the new cases, Gran Canaria has the most again with 157 today, followed by Tenerife with 121, Fuerteventura with 44, there is 21 in Lanzarote, and 3 in La Palma.
The Ministry of Health has also confirmed the first case of COVID-19 by the omicron variant registered in the Canary Islands. As previously reported, this is a fully vaccinated middle-aged man who arrived in Gran Canaria from South Africa last week, and who, after showing Covid symptoms a few days ago, tested positive with a PCR test and his sample was sent for sequencing. This morning the results have confirmed that he is infected with the Omicron variant.
In addition to him, the Dr. Negrín University Hospital of Gran Canaria is carrying out the sequencing of four other samples from people suspected to have Omicron, and are waiting for the results to see whether they have or not. The result of these other sequences will be known in the next few days.
Regarding the Omicron variant, scientists across the world are sequencing as many samples as possible to find out more about it, so we have to wait to know its evolution and to determine if its incidence in the Archipelago may increase, although given the experience and evolution percentages obtained in other territories where it is present, and the behaviour of other strains of the SARS-CoV-2, it is foreseeable that it will become dominant.
