Lanzarote continues with eleven active cases of covid-19 after not registering any positive in the 21 tests carried out this Sunday. Among the samples taken are those made to the 9 contacts of the infected English tourist. According to the Health Management of the island, the lady activated the protocol as soon as she registered at the hotel, so she interacted with few people on the island.
The island has eleven active cases, nine immigrants from the boat that arrived on July 8 and a passenger who arrived from Mexico and the English tourist.
The system of early detection and tracking of positive cases of COVID-19 has become the best asset for the control of the pandemic after the arrival of the new normal.

The city of Ceuta equals the Canary Islands and highlights that Melilla achieves 13 contacts for each positive. Andalusia follows the Canary Islands in this ranking, with 5, and the Valencian Community, with another 5.
The same report states that the Canary Islands takes less than a day to isolate people suspected of being positive or contacts of a positive. In addition, the results of the tests are provided to these people within a maximum of 48 hours.
