The president of the Canary Islands, Ángel Víctor Torres, pointed out this Wednesday that if the central Government establishes a curfew, he will request that the archipelago be excluded from this measure.
"The Canary Islands is not going to request at this time, in any case, a curfew and if the Government of Spain wants to establish it for the whole country, the Canary Islands will ask to be excluded from that curfew," he added in statements to journalists after holding a meeting with the consul of Morocco in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
Torres has defended that the Canary Islands "has nothing to do" at the moment with the rest of the country, since it is the community with the "most favorable" rates of accumulated incidence in the seven days, as well as in 14 days, to which he added that the islands also have "the lowest percentage of positives according to the number of tests carried out."
The possibility of establishing a curfew throughout Spain was raised this Tuesday by the Community of Madrid and the central Government indicated that they are studying this measure in view of the resurgence of cases, although for this it would be necessary to declare a state of alarm again.
