The Canary Islands have ended the first week of January and the festive period with 2,343 new cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours. The figures have followed an expected trend with yesterday being the biggest bank holiday of the year, with a lower number of new infections registered, but a huge number of medical discharges today, with 2,114.
However, this morning there has been an increase in hospital admissions, an increase in ICU admissions, and the death of six people has been reported: five women aged 60, 71, 72, 96, and 96 years old in Tenerife, and a 91-year-old man in Gran Canaria. All were admitted to hospital and, except for the male who was associated with a social outbreak, the rest had previous pathologies.
With schools starting back on Monday, the Public Health Commission, has announced today that classes will only go into isolation when 5 students, or more than 20% of students, test positive for Covid, with the aim of guaranteeing consistency in teaching.
This means that quarantine is recommended for the entire class whenever there are 5 or more cases of active infection in a classroom, or when 20% or more of the students in the class are affected in a period equal to or less than 7 days.
This change is adapted to the current pandemic situation and reflects the important advance in vaccination in all age groups, and takes into account that school environments have proven throughout the pandemic to be safe environments in terms of virus transmission.
