A total of eight patients who were admitted to the Hospital Insular have tested positive for Covid, so there could have been an outbreak in this health center, where elderly people are usually referred.
A few days ago a case had already been detected and since Tuesday seven others have been confirmed, as reported to La Voz from the health services area of Lanzarote.
At the moment they have not confirmed whether all the infections are related to each other, although they point out that they were people who were already admitted for other ailments, so they would have contracted the virus in the health center.
Meanwhile, in the Molina Orosa Hospital there are already 24 patients admitted with Covid, 23 of them on the ward and one in the Intensive Care Unit. In addition, among those admitted is a baby of only 44 days. His hospitalization is added to others recently registered of young children, although fortunately the rest have been discharged.
In Molina Orosa, the oldest person admitted with coronavirus is 97 years old.
