The Canary Islands have added 140 new cases of Covid in the last 24 hours, taking the total number of accumulated cases in the archipelago to 55,991 since the pandemic began, with one Covid related death in Tenerife of a 55-year-old man in Granadilla with no previous health problems who caught the virus from a family outbreak, meaning that 766 people have lost their lives, according to the latest data from the Ministry of Health.
There are currently 1,726 active cases of which 45 remain admitted to ICU, 215 are hospitalized, and 1,466 are in home isolation. In addition, 159 people have been medically discharged today. All this means that the IA7 for the Canary Islands stands at 37.18 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and the IA14 is at 77.53 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
By islands, Tenerife adds 86 new infections today and now has 999 active cases on the island, while Gran Canaria adds 28 of which 466 are still active. Lanzarote cases are still relatively high with 22 new ones and Fuerteventura has registered 4 new infections, whilst there are none in the other three islands.
Gran Canaria now has its epidemiological parameters at medium or low risk, and two are even at minimal risk. The only data above the average for the rest of the islands is the occupation of beds in ICU by patients with Covid-19, which stands at 11.11% compared to the average of 9.07% for the archipelago. In the rest of the parameters, the island is below the average.
This is due to the positive evolution of the pandemic that has continued in recent days and that could open the door to lower the island to alert Level 1, the same level as La Gomera, La Palma, El Hierro, and Fuerteventura
Lanzarote currently has two parameters at high risk, specifically the IA14 of 186.12 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and also 7 days with 83.43. The island has one parameter at medium risk, four at low risk, and one at minimal risk. Tenerife has three at medium risk and five at low risk.
