Covid update: The Canary Islands start Christmas with 3,122 new cases
The Ministry of Health has updated the epidemiological data for the last time before Christmas, reporting a new record 3,122 new cases in the last 24 hour, and have verified two more Covid deaths in Gran Canaria. Of the new cases Tenerife has 1,862 new cases, Gran Canaria has 833, Lanzarote 227, Fuerteventura 89, La Palma 54, La Gomera 30, and El Hierro 27.
Following 205 medical discharges, all this means that 24,000 people in the Canary Islands will be spending Christmas in home isolation.
Regarding the risk level in each island, this table shows you it for hospital beds and ICU occupancy among other things. It is important to remember a couple of points though, for example, ICU’s are at high risk when occupancy by Covid patients reached 15%, because they still have their other ‘usual’ patients from illness and accidents etc. Also, there is no coincidence that ICU patients went down by 2 today, just as deaths increased by 2.
The SCS want to remind people, that they can still book an appointment, or if eligible without an appointment, go to the main vaccination points today, Christmas Day and Boxing Day for a Covid vaccine. Health staff are working all over Christmas to help increase vaccination and protection against the coronavirus.
