The Ministry of Health have reported five deaths in the last 24 hours, three in Gran Canaria and two in Tenerife, which are three women and two men, aged between 80 and 90 years old, and all had previous pathologies.
The SCS has confirmed that there is an infant under 2 years old who has required essential medical care at the Doctor José Molina Orosa Hospital in Arrecife after testing positive for coronavirus.
