Covid update: 694 new cases and 3 more deaths today in the Canaries

The upward trend is continuing in the Canary Islands and daily cases are growing at a rapid rate with almost 700 new cases in the archipelago today. Tenerife is the island with the most again with 382 new cases, Gran Canaria has 226, Fuerteventura 49, Lanzarote 21, there are 12 in la Palma, 3 in El Hierro, and 1 in La Gomera.

The Ministry of Health is requesting that anyone who was at the Habana Club in the Torviscas area of Adeje on December 7th, contacts the local health authority on 900 112 061 after an outbreak of 19 people so far, many of them teenagers, has been discovered by track and trace.

This call has been made after a ‘concert’ at the club which has now seen outbreaks amongst attendees in a local school 6th form and the La Laguna University, and the club is facing legal action for ignoring rules against social distancing, use of masks, no dancing, or collecting data of clients, which is a decree-law for nightlife venues.
