Today’s update from the Ministry of Health, confirms that 1,687 new cases of coronavirus have been detected in the Canary Islands in the last 24 hours, with only 108 people medically discharged and two more deaths, meaning there are now 12,830 active cases in the islands, 266 Covid patients in hospital, 57 in ICU, and 12,507 in home isolation.
Tenerife is now the most affected island in almost all stats:
- Most new cases today with 1,163.
- Most active cases with 7,110 (55% of total).
- Municipality with most active cases, Santa Cruz 3,285.
- Most deaths with 613 (56% of total).
- Highest 7-day incidence rate of 532.95.
- Highest 14-day incidence rate of 650.33.
The only area that Tenerife is not currently highest is in hospital pressure. Gran Canaria has the highest rating of 90% and 85% pressure in its two main hospitals in Las Palmas, whereas in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the two hospitals are at 82% and 80% pressure, but the extreme differences in the number of new cases means it won’t be long until that increases too.
