The Ministry of Health has reported the death of three people in the Canary Islands (two in Gran Canaria and one in La Palma) and 943 new cases of Covid-19 in the last 24 hours in the Archipelago, so that the total number of cases accumulated in the Islands since the beginning of the pandemic is now 77,130 with 12,523 active, of which 71 are admitted to ICU and 436 remain hospitalized in wards.
By Islands, Tenerife continues to be the most affected Island and has registered 485 new positives today; Gran Canaria has registered 371 cases; Fuerteventura 38; Lanzarote 21; La Palma 11; La Gomera 6, and El Hierro 1.
