SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Oct 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands has agreed to keep all the islands at alert level 1 in the update of the ‘traffic light’ this week, after the epidemiological report of the General Directorate of Public Health with consolidated data as of October 27, evolution of health indicators for COVID-19.

Between October 20 and 26, 580 new cases of COVID-19 have been reported in the Canary Islands, which represents an increase of around 41.1% in the daily average of reported cases compared to the previous week (from 13 to October 19, in which 411 cases were registered).

Given this increase in weekly cases, the Ministry of Health insists on the importance of maintaining preventive measures for the use of the mask in closed spaces, hand hygiene and interpersonal distance to avoid risks of transmission of COVID-19.

Taking into account this increase in cases, during the last week the average IA7d rate in the Autonomous Community as a whole increased by around 46.3% compared to the previous week. However, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote are at a medium risk level; La Gomera at low risk level; La Palma and El Hierro have a very low risk level, while Fuerteventura has oscillated between a medium and low risk level.

The daily average 14-day AI rate increases 19%, although it continues to be at low risk. All the islands are at low or very low risk for this indicator except Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, which are at medium risk.

ASSISTANCE INDICATORS

Regarding the care indicators, the favorable evolution continues and all the islands are at very low risk in terms of the occupation of both conventional and ICU beds. The daily average of conventional beds occupied by COVID-19 patients decreased by around 22.8% compared to the previous week, with an average of 78 beds occupied each day compared to 101 the previous week.

Regarding the number of occupied ICU beds, the decline that began two months ago continues and consolidates, and all the islands continue to have a very low risk of ICU bed occupancy. In the Community as a whole, it has gone from an average of 21 ICU beds occupied two weeks ago to 18 in the last week.

The median age of all people hospitalized for COVID-19 in the last 14 days is 62.5 years, an increase of one year from the previous assessment.

The cumulative incidence rate of COVID-19 cases in the last week is 2.9 times higher in the population that has not received any dose of vaccine compared to the rate in the population that has received the full regimen. While 75 percent of the people admitted to the ICU, in the last two weeks, did not have a complete vaccination schedule.
