The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced this Thursday that the regional Executive is working on a regulation to regulate health measures to deal with the coronavirus pandemic and give it greater legal coverage.
"We are working on a regulation that regulates all health measures to give it the greatest possible coverage," he said during the press conference after the meeting of the President's Advisory Council, where he stated that the objective is to have said regulation by mid-August.
Torres explained that, according to the early data from this Thursday on the incidence of the virus in relation to last week's, it can be seen that the curve is beginning "to bend, there is a feeling of stabilization and the beginning of a decrease", although he acknowledged that on islands such as Gran Canaria "this is less pronounced", when he pointed out that "it seems that in Tenerife it is beginning to decrease."
In any case, he indicated that the next two days, Friday and Saturday, are "key to saying that the curve is bending."
In addition, he added that in the Canary Islands the degree of vaccination of people with the complete regimen reaches 64 percent, although there are several islands that are already at 70 percent, such as La Graciosa, El Hierro, La Palma and "soon" it will be La Gomera.
Torres has admitted that if he had been able to use measures that the courts have rejected in the Canary Islands, the curve could have been bent earlier.
