The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands has reported the case of an unvaccinated person over 65 years of age who, at the end of July, began to have symptoms compatible with covid-19. Days later, he took an antigen self-test purchased at a pharmacy that tested positive.
This person decided to isolate himself but did not communicate his positive result to any health authority. A few days later he required health care and is currently in the ICU.
The Ministry of Health reminds that it is essential to call the toll-free number 900 112 061 at the slightest symptom (cough, fever, headache, diarrhea...) in order to activate the protocols established for the detection of coronavirus cases.
