Covid update: New cases have decreased over the last 3 days to 254 today

12/6/21, 5:08 PM By Canarian Weekly Health

The latest data from the Ministry of Health over the weekend and for today’s bank holiday show that over the last 3 days the daily number of new cases has decreased. On Saturday there were 376 new cases reported, on Sunday there were 376, and today they have registered 254. Although this is good news it is too soon to confirm whether or not it is the start of a downward trend, especially as the number of PCR tests taken has been less in the last 24 hours.

Of the new cases today 103 are in Gran Canaria, 102 are in Tenerife, 26 in Fuerteventura, 16 in Lanzarote, and 7 in La Palma. In addition to this, there has been one Covid death verified in Fuerteventura, who have gone into Level 3 from today and now have an incidence rate over 400. Officially the threshold for Level 4 is an IA14 of 500 so the island needs to start seeing some improvement in its data.

Even though these next few days are ‘Constitution Bridge’ bank holidays, people are reminded that they can still go and get vaccinated without an appointment.

In Tenerife, anyone who had the Janssen single-dose vaccine or are over 60 years old can go, with or without an appointment, to the Magma centre in Adeje or the Recinto Ferial in Santa Cruz from 8.30am to 6pm, and in Gran Canaria you can go to Infecar or Expomeloneras between 9.30am and 6.30pm.
