Call for responsibility and awareness
Given the continuous and progressive increase in cases of COVID-19 that is being registered in recent days, especially in Tenerife, the Ministry of Health emphasizes the importance of following hygiene-sanitary recommendations to prevent infections.

In addition, emphasis is placed on the correct use of the mask, frequent hand hygiene, interpersonal distancing, cleaning and ventilation of rooms as basic measures to avoid infections and stop the curve.
Finally, it also asks for the collaboration and makes a call to the responsibility of the municipal authorities, especially those of Tenerife where the highest incidence of coronavirus is currently being registered. The Ministry reminds these municipalities of the importance of enforcing the current protection regulations against SARS-CoV-2, controlling, through their respective Local Police forces, the capacity and schedules, the correct use of masks, distances, time limitations, etc.
