The President of the Canary Islands Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced this Wednesday that no changes in the alert level for the coronavirus are expected in any of the islands, as the data indicate that "there is no increase" in relation to the previous week, "therefore there will be consolidation", and awaiting the next few days, a situation is emerging that points to the possibility of "bending the curve".
In any case, he pointed out that this Thursday, in the Governing Council, the situation will be analyzed with the mandatory report, although he qualified that the previous week was "of consolidation of positives" and this Wednesday there is "a decrease in infections compared to the previous Wednesday", so it seems that we are in a situation "of possible bending the curve but we have to wait for the next few days".
Even so, he admitted in statements to journalists during a public event, that there is currently care pressure, especially on the islands that are "worse, which is in Tenerife and La Palma, but it also increases on the island of Gran Canaria", although he qualified that "the pressure in hospitals and ICUs is always higher in the following weeks than when the curve begins to bend".
However, the President of the Canary Islands has stated that, "in principle, no changes in levels are expected because there is no increase and, therefore, there will be consolidation", to which he added that he "does not" believe that there will be "level drops" either.
In any case, he pointed out that the Government of the Canary Islands will continue as until now adopting the same decisions that in the last 17 months "have been successful and have stopped infections and stopped the curve".
