The Ministry of Health has registered 175 new cases of coronavirus in the Canary Islands today, of which 106 new cases are in Tenerife, 47 in Gran Canaria, 17 are in Lanzaorte, 3 in Fuerteventura, 1 in La Palma, 1 in El Hierro, and none in La Gomera. They also reported of two deaths, both in Gran Canaria.
Active cases in the islands rose slightly today, as there were only 138 people medically discharged, but incidence rates for the islands as a whole went down again, to 47.75 over 7 days and 112.46 over 14 days.
Later today the Governing Council will announce any changes to alert levels in the islands, and it looks very possible that Gran Canaria will go down to Level 2 as their data is still following a downward trend, whereas Tenerife will stay at Level 3, because although stabilising, it is not reducing enough as yet.
The Canary Islands has registered 92 new coronavirus outbreaks in the last week, with 500 people affected, the one with most infected is from a party of Family and friends in La Palma with 15 people infected. Of these outbreaks, 53 have occurred in Tenerife, 32 in Gran Canaria, two in Fuerteventura, two in Lanzarote and three in La Palma. 45 are family related, 17 from social gatherings, and 17 in schools.
There are also 41 existing outbreaks that are still being monitored, and some of them have grown in number of cases. There is a work related one, that has now affected family members in Tenerife, with 93 people infected; a social one in El Hierro with 52 associated cases, and two educational with family repercussions in Tenerife and Gran Canaria, with 52 and 38 cases, respectively.
