Covid update: The Canaries adds 2,048 new cases and 7 deaths today

The latest data from the Ministry of Health has informed of less new cases than expected, and a decrease in active cases in Tenerife for the first time during this sixth wave of the pandemic. In total, they have reported 2,048 new cases with 1,544 people medically discharged, a higher number than usual as the 7-day isolation has now come into effect.

This has resulted in 49,139 active cases in the archipelago, with 420 people in hospital (+24) and 64 people in ICU. They have also confirmed seven verified deaths from Covid, all aged between 54 and 89 years old, three in Tenerife, another three in Gran Canaria, and one in El Hierro.

Of the new cases today, Gran Canaria has the highest number with 792 and Las Palmas has now overtaken Santa Cruz as the most infected island (see below). Tenerife has 710 new cases, Lanzarote has 265, La Palma 175, Fuerteventura 86, La Gomera 11, and El Hierro 9.

The last three days have averaged 2,200 new cases per day, and although very early days, if that continues a decrease in incidence rates will start to be seen, however, the increase in hospital admissions is steadily increasing as is pressure on the health service.
