The President of the Canary Islands Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, stated this Friday that he has not yet considered requesting a state of alarm in the islands because "there is room" to "bend" the curve of infections and he will choose to reinforce security measures and the imposition of sanctions.
In a press conference held after the meeting of the Security Board in response to the rise in infections in the archipelago, especially in Tenerife, he said that the activity of the different police forces will be "redoubled" to deal with the various "street drinking, clandestine parties and breaches" in commercial and catering establishments, starting this weekend and throughout the month of July.
Torres pointed out that requesting a state of alarm for the autonomous community is "not on the table" because there is still "time" to correct the current trend, although he admitted that if the incidence of the pandemic does not decrease at the beginning of August, its application will be studied.
