The situation in Tenerife, where the incidence of Covid-19 continues to skyrocket while it decreases in the rest of Spain, has led to a meeting being called for this Tuesday, in which new measures could be adopted.
The meeting will be attended by the Minister of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, Blas Trujillo, together with the President of the Cabildo of Tenerife, Pedro Martín, the Island Councilor for Social Action, Citizen Participation and Diversity, Marián Franquet, and the mayors of the island.
This Monday, Trujillo already announced that new measures will be adopted during this week to try to stop the spread of the coronavirus in Tenerife, which last Friday already had a cumulative incidence of 107.64 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants in seven days. And that figure has continued to grow during the weekend, since this Sunday alone it added 261 cases, of the 325 reported in all of the Canary Islands.
Last week, the Canary Islands Government pointed out that it was going to toughen the restrictions in Tenerife, although it finally only extended for one more week the 'curfew' that was already established on that island, and which forces people to be at home from 11 p.m. Among other measures, group meetings are also limited to four people and serving at bar and restaurant bars is prohibited.
Last Thursday, the regional Executive indicated that before adopting new decisions it would wait 14 days to see the fruits of these measures, although now it could advance its intervention in light of the epidemiological data that continue to arrive, and which place Tenerife as one of the points with the worst evolution in all of Spain.
