The Ministry of Health have released some of the epidemiological data that will be reviewed in the Governing Council meeting later today regarding the incidence of the virus in municipalities in each of the Canary Islands. Tenerife is the island with most in the ‘very high risk’ bracket with 11, and there is one in Fuerteventura and one in El Hierro.
In total, 11 of the 31 municipalities of Tenerife have a very high risk fourteen-day incidence rate Covid-19, another 6 have high risk, 10 are at medium risk and 4 are at low or minimal risk.
The 11 municipalities of Tenerife at very high risk are:
Santa Cruz de Tenerife,
La Laguna,
Arona,
Adeje,
Granadilla,
San Miguel,
Candelaria,
El Rosario,
Arafo,
Fasnia,
and Vilaflor.
According to the latest epidemiological report from the Canary Islands Health Service, there are thirteen municipalities in the Canary Islands that have a very high risk fourteen-day incidence rate, and the other two are Tuineje, in Fuerteventura, and El Pinar, in El Hierro.
Tenerife is the only island that as a whole is at a very high risk in incidence over fourteen days. Fuerteventura is classed as high risk, Gran Canaria and El Hierro are at medium risk, Lanzarote at low risk, and La Palma and La Gomera are at minimal risk, according to the indicator that measures infections per 100,000 inhabitants in the last two weeks.
The next island with the highest incidence over 14 days is Fuerteventura, with one of its municipalities at very high risk (Tuineje), one at high risk (Puerto del Rosario), two at medium risk (La Oliva and Pájara), Antigua at low risk and Betancuria at minimal risk.
El Hierro is the next most affected island in cumulative incidence over 14 days, with medium risk at the island level, with the municipality of El Pinar at very high risk and Frontera and Valverde at medium risk.
The next island is Gran Canaria, where the risk is medium at the island level, with one municipality, Valsequillo, at high risk, eleven at medium risk, including Las Palmas, and nine at low or minimum risk.
Lanzarote is at low risk, with two of its municipalities, Tías and Tinajo, at medium risk, and at a minimum are La Gomera (with Hermigua and San Sebastián at medium risk) and La Palma (in Puntallana at medium risk).
The president of the Canary Islands has said this morning that they are going to study the options available to them to ‘bend the curve’ very carefully this afternoon, and since he said that, the UK have announced that vaccinated Brits can return home from July 19th from amber list countries without quarantine.
