The Covid curve, which reached its highest peak on January 15 and from there began to plummet, has been rising for two weeks in Lanzarote, which has re-entered the maximum risk level, with a particularly sharp increase in the last two days.
Until last week, the island maintained the lowest indicators in the Canary Islands, but now it has already overtaken Fuerteventura and is only 14 points away from Gran Canaria, which has an accumulated 408 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 7 days, compared to 394 in Lanzarote.
In addition, there are municipalities on the island where these figures are even higher. In the case of Tinajo, it not only currently has the highest incidence on the island in relation to its population, but also the highest in the entire province.
In that municipality, the incidence was 637 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 7 days this Wednesday (almost 200 points above the Canary Islands average) and 1,010 in 14 days, after adding 41 positives in the last week and 65 in 14 days.
San Bartolomé, in second place
Next is San Bartolomé, with an incidence at 7 days of 513 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and 806 at 14 days. This municipality alone has registered 98 cases in the last week (25 of them this Wednesday) and 154 in 14 days.
In third place is Tías, with a cumulative incidence at 7 days of 470 and at 14 days of 785, after adding 97 positives in one week and 162 in two weeks.
Next is Teguise, which has registered 99 positives in the last week (21 of them this Wednesday) and 164 in two weeks. Its incidence is 436 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 7 days and 722 in 14 days.
The fifth place is occupied by Arrecife, which has added the highest number of cases (231 in the last week and 390 in two weeks), but in relation to its population it has an incidence of 357 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 7 days and 603 in 14 days.
The next is Haría, which has added 16 cases in the last week and 29 in two weeks, and has an incidence at 7 days of 304 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and at 14 days of 551.
The list is closed by Yaiza, which is also at the highest level of risk in the cumulative incidence at 7 days, with 264 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. At 17 days it is still at high risk (compared to very high, which is the maximum), with 492 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. This municipality has registered 45 positives in the last week (9 of them this Wednesday) and 84 in two weeks.
However, as has been happening in this sixth wave, the hospital pressure and the severity of the cases is very different from what was suffered in other moments of the pandemic, with a much lower incidence.
