Now that there are no more Christmas holidays or Kings Days and the schools have reopened, we will start to see more accurate data as opposed to provisional on the bank holidays and weekends. This has started today with the Ministry of Health reporting that 6,841 new cases of Covid have been registered in the last 24 hours, and 8 people have died.
Of the new cases 3,573 are in Tenerife, 2,105 are in Gran Canaria, 509 are in Lanzarote, 336 are in Fuerteventura, 255 in La Palma, 35 are in la Gomera, and 28 are in El Hierro. Following this, La Palma is the first island to have 14-day incidence rate that exceeds 3,000 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
Today there have also been 2,252 people discharged but active cases have risen to over 70,859 with 70,303 in home isolation, and in fact over 10% of the workforce in the Canary Islands are off work with Covid.
What to do if you are in close contact with someone positive with COVID-19:
With the explosion in cases due to the Omicron variant, many people aren’t sure what to do if they come in close contact with someone who has tested positive, so the Ministry of Health has re-iterated what you should do.
Being a close contact means that you could be at risk of having been infected. In this regard, the Ministry of Health recommends that if you have been fully vaccinated, it is not necessary to quarantine. However, you should take extreme precautions with where you go and who you see, such as avoiding contact with vulnerable people, reducing social interaction, and by wearing a mask at all times, performing only essential activities, working from home, and continuously practicing protection measures (mask, social distancing, and ventilation in interior spaces ).
If you are not fully vaccinated you must self-isolate for 7 days after the date of last contact with the person who tested positive for coronavirus. Likewise, you must exercise extreme precautions over the next 10 days by limiting social contact and using a mask at all times. At home, if possible, isolate yourself in a room to avoid infecting the rest of your cohabitants, and monitor your health looking for symptoms, and if possible test regularly.
