In the midst of a fourth wave of infections in the Canary Islands, many are considering hardening measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic. The coordinator of the Health Federation of Intersindical Canaria (the confederation of trade unions of the Canary Islands), Cati Darias, has once again asked the regional Government to move Tenerife in to alert level 4 due to the increase in the number of positive cases and other indicators.
“We must bear in mind that we have now been at level 3 for a long time, but it has made no difference as the data is not improving. We are stuck in a kind of plateau and the cumulative incidence rates have just not dropped. In addition, the numbers have begun to increase dangerously after Easter. If we want to get out of this hole we must do something drastic", declared Darias in a press conference this morning.
