The Ministry of Health have reported another record high day of new infections with 5,260 detected in the 24 hours in the Canary Islands. Tenerife is the highest again with 2,889 followed by Gran Canaria with 1,706, Lanzarote with 322, and Fuerteventura is starting to see a reduction with 126.
Even with 1,158 people discharged, which will start to see a sharp increase now that isolation has decreased to 7 days, there are now over 41,000 active cases in the islands.
Many people will read the data and say that it is good news that hospitalisations have decreased by 5 and ICU admissions are the same as yesterday, which it is until you take into account that 8 people have died today, and in fact, 36 people have died in the last week from Covid, and not all of them are older with previous pathologies, although most are unvaccinated.
