The Ministry of Health in the Canary Islands has reported of 169 new cases of coronavirus today, taking the accumulated total to 58,365 since the pandemic began, of which 1,688 are still active, 26 are in ICU, 179 are hospitalised, and 1,483 are being treated at home in isolation.
Tenerife continues to be the island with the most daily cases, and now is causing real concern for the incidence rates of the archipelago, and is under scrutiny by the Public Health Committee with suggestions that the island will return to Level 3 restrictions tomorrow or next Thursday, if the situation doesn’t improve.
Today there have been 105 new cases detected in Tenerife, 42 in Gran Canaria, 15 in Lanzarote, 7 in Fuerteventura, and none in La Palma, La Gomera, or El Hierro. Tenerife’s IA7 is now over 70 and the IA14 is over 120, which are getting very close to the threshold for Level 3, even though hospitalisations are down, and for the islands the IA7 is 44.81 with the IA14 at 82.03.
The reality is that regardless of UK announcements, the data in Tenerife must improve, as if it doesn’t, we won’t make the green list anyway which will prevent the other islands having tourists even though their data is sufficiently low enough.
