The President of the Canary Islands Government, Ángel Víctor Torres, announced this Monday that the archipelago is "beginning to bend the curve" of the coronavirus incidence with 54 positives per 100,000 inhabitants, a matter related to the measures that were adopted during the month of August to try to stop the advance of the pandemic in the islands.
This was stated by Torres in statements to journalists after meeting with the President of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales. In any case, he stressed the need to continue complying with the rules, as well as monitoring them.
Torres pointed out that the measures adopted during the month of August to try to stop the spread of the virus in the archipelago have allowed the curve to be bent. In this sense, he stated that currently and according to the latest data he has had access to from the Canarian Health Service (SCS) "there are 54 positives per 100,000 inhabitants."
This, he added, is "very good data" after having reached 100 positives per 100,000 inhabitants this summer. In this way, the Canary Islands is approaching the figure of "50 positives per 100,000 inhabitants" which makes countries like Germany have it as a limit to recommend traveling.
"We have been gradually improving these indices, all the islands are below 100; 60, 70 the most, some 20 (...). The best solution we have to offer the best tourist product of our land to the outside is, without a doubt, that we lower the data of the pandemic and that we have positive figures," he added.
