A few weeks ago the Canary Islands had the best incidence rates over 14 days in the whole of Spain, but since then the archipelago has taken a backward step as many people seem to think the pandemic is over, and now occupies ninth place in the rankings, behind Extremadura (42 cases), Balearic Islands (54), Valencia (63), La Rioja (72), Murcia (74), Castilla y La Mancha (80), Galicia (90) and Cantabria (100).
At the moment it is a daily ‘battle’ between the two capital islands, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, as to which one has the most new cases. On Monday it was Gran Canaria who had 92 new positives against the 48 in Tenerife, in the last 24 hours Gran Canaria registered 89 new cases, and Tenerife 102, the first time in two months the island had more than 100 cases in one day.
