A 60-year-old woman who had already received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine has died in Gran Canaria as a result of this disease. In her case, immunization was not enough to prevent contagion or to reduce symptoms as has happened with other patients, although in this regard, the Health Department indicates that she had a serious previous pathology.
Her death is one of two that have been recorded in the Canary Islands in the last day. The other deceased is a 69-year-old man who resided in La Palma, also with previous pathologies, linked to a labor/social outbreak. Both were admitted to the hospital.
Regarding the new cases of Covid, the archipelago has added 132 in the last day, bringing the number of accumulated cases to 54,898. Of these, 2,346 are active after 342 discharges have also been reported. There are 49 patients admitted to the ICU and 237 in the hospital ward, while the remaining 2,060 are in home isolation.
The accumulated incidence at 7 days in the Canary Islands is 41.23 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and at 14 days it is 81.94 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
