Covid update: 1,171 new cases and 4 deaths in the Canary Islands today
The latest data from the Ministry of Health shows a drop in new cases in the last 24 hours, as it did yesterday, but they remind that figures from the weekend are always lower due to less testing and fewer people being discharged. Today they have reported 1,171 new cases, the sixth day running there has been more than a thousand, and have verified 4 more deaths in the islands due to Covid, 3 in Gran Canaria and 1 in Tenerife.
Of the new cases, Tenerife has 708 which is more than double those in Gran Canaria with 346, Fuerteventura has 46, Lanzarote has 41, La Palma has 21, and there were 9 in La Gomera. Incidence rates are running out of control with the IA7 in Tenerife now at 639.56 and the IA14 at 792.37, the highest of all the islands. Hospitalisations have also increased by 8.5%.
The SCS has also reported that 13,707 children aged 5-11 years old have already had their first dose of the Covid vaccine, which represents 10% of the target for that age group,
In total, 3,593,893 doses of COVID-19 vaccines had been administered as of last night. In the Canaries, there are already 1,727,371 people who have received at least one dose, which represents 82.35% of the target population, in which boys and girls between 5 and 11 years old have now been included.
