Despite the notable improvement of almost all indicators in Lanzarote in the last week, there is one that has worsened again: the incidence in people over 65 years of age. The figures are far from those that were recorded in the worst moments of the third wave, but this indicator has risen again from the "medium risk" that had been achieved to "high risk" (above is the "very high risk", in which the island remained for weeks). And in the case of two specific municipalities, it is back to maximum risk.
Most of the cases in the elderly in the last week are concentrated in the municipalities of San Bartolomé and Tinajo. The first has an incidence in seven days of 150 cases per 100,000 inhabitants of this age group, while in Tinajo it has skyrocketed to 254, although in its case it is influenced by having a smaller population. For this indicator, "very high risk" is considered from 75 onwards.
The other three municipalities that have registered cases in people over 65 years of age in the last week are Arrecife, Teguise and Tías, with a cumulative incidence in seven days of 29, 36 and 34 cases per 100,000 inhabitants respectively, which places them in "medium risk". For their part, Haría and Yaiza have not added any cases in the elderly. With these data, the island's average is 73.3 at seven days, approaching maximum risk again.
Arrecife drops from 148 cases the previous week to 50
Regarding the total cases registered, Arrecife has had the most marked decrease, adding 50 positives last week, compared to 148 the previous week (two weeks ago it had 234 and three weeks ago 344). As the second municipality with the worst figures, San Bartolomé has been located in the last week, which registered a total of 15 new positives, which in any case is two less than the previous week, when it added 17.
Yaiza is next, which is once again among the most affected, although reducing its figures again. In the last week it has added 12 cases and the previous week it had 27.
The fourth with the most cases has been Tías, although it has only had 7 diagnoses, compared to 22 the previous week. Teguise closely follows with 6 (the previous week it had 19) and Tinajo, which has suffered a new peak with another six cases, when the previous week it had none. In addition, as already indicated, a good part of these cases are in the elderly, which increases the risk.
Finally, Haría has only added one case in the last seven days, which is the same figure as the previous week.
In the accumulated incidence, this has meant that no municipality is already at "very high risk" at 7 days and that at 14 days only Arrecife is, although if the trend continues, it will soon leave that level. In the last 7 days, the capital has had a cumulative incidence of 76 cases per 100,000 inhabitants and in the last 14 (also adding the previous week) the average continues to skyrocket to 300. This means that only by repeating this week the data from the previous week, the incidence at 14 days would already be reduced by half.
As for Tinajo, the six new cases detected have made this municipality rise from "low risk" to "high risk" in one week, with a cumulative incidence of 95 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which this Tuesday is the highest on the island.
The average for the whole of Lanzarote is 214 cases per 100,000 inhabitants (this Monday it already dropped from very high risk to high risk); while at 7 it has even dropped to medium risk, with 67.6 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.
