Covid update: Tenerife and Gran Canaria are heading for Level 2 restrictions

Tenerife and Gran Canaria are heading for Level 2 this week as the upward trend of epidemiological data in the Canary Islands continues, with 276 new cases and two Covid related deaths in the last 24 hours, both women in Gran Canaria, aged 87 and 94, with previous pathologies and who were already in hospital.

New cases in the two islands are increasing daily with 122 in Tenerife today and 121 in Gran Canaria, and their 14-day incidence rates are now at 142 and 130 respectively and still rising.

There are now 2,511 active Covid cases in the Canary Islands with 175 in wards, and 28 in ICU which has increased by 25% in the last 24 hours. There are 2,319 people in home isolation after 261 people were medically discharged today.

Lanzarote and Fuerteventura are already in Level 2 which doesn’t have many differences at the moment to Level 1 as capacities are the same at 100% outside, 80% inside, groups and tables of 8 (not 12), and closing time for bars of 2am, but that could change with the reformation of the levels and traffic light system nationally in Spain over the next couple of weeks if an agreement is made by the Public Health Committee.
