Lanzarote and La Graciosa will continue for another week in level 1 of health alert, which it managed to lower to seven days ago. This was agreed at the Canary Islands Government Council held this Thursday, in which only the level of Gran Canaria has been modified, which drops from level 3 to level 2 "due to the improvement of its epidemiological indicators."
In this way, only Tenerife and Fuerteventura remain at level 3, while La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro remain at level 1 together with Lanzarote, as announced by the Deputy Minister of the Presidency, Antonio Olivera, who is the one who has offered the press conference after the Council, replacing the spokesperson for the regional Executive.
The Public Health report that the Governing Council analyzed this week reflects the "sustained decrease" in accumulated incidence in recent weeks. Specifically, in the Autonomous Community as a whole during the days 1 to 7 of September, 868 cases have been reported, which represents a decrease in the daily average of the number of cases reported, around 28% compared to the previous week.
However, the number of daily deaths has increased with 19 deaths, 2 more than the previous week, 12 of them in Tenerife, the only island in which the number of deaths has increased this week.
The number of conventional beds occupied by Covid-19 patients continues to decline in the community average, where it has gone from a daily average of 217 beds occupied to 191, and also that of ICU beds. In turn, there has been a decrease in the average age of people admitted to the Intensive Care Unit, which in recent days is 59 years.
