Once again, in comparison with the rest of the behaviours proposed for sanction, it is not wearing a mask properly or being out after curfew that accounts for 372 of the breaches, with 167 and 205 sanction proposals respectively.

 By municipalities, they have issued 108 sanctions in Santa Cruz, 44 in La Laguna, 204 in Adeje and Arona, 24 between the towns of Puerto de la Cruz and Los Realejos, and 2 in the town of Santa Cruz de la Palma.
