The Minister of Public Administrations, Justice and Security of the Government of the Canary Islands, Julio Pérez, assured this Tuesday that the immigrants who arrived to the islands in pateras or similar boats "have not infected anyone" once in the archipelago.
"Immigrants have not infected anyone, there is no case" of local contagion as a result of this, Pérez maintained during a parliamentary response.
Pérez said that this is a "consequence of the management of the Government of the Canary Islands", with which more than 1,000 migrants who arrived in this period have been tested, with just over 100 positives.
This, which has increased the number of active cases in the Canary Islands, has not however resulted in infections, since these people remain in isolation, with strict security protocols.
