The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands informs that the only appeal that the Canary Health Service has made to carry out PCR is the one that affects those attending the concert at the Havana nightclub, in the urban center of Adeje, the December 7. In this appeal, which took place on Tuesday of this week, the affected young people were asked to call the line 900 112 061 to carry out PCR, as it is an outbreak that is progressing in new cases very quickly and is already reaching the 69 affected.

However, it has been detected that the identity of the Ministry of Health has been impersonated in social networks and through instant messaging to include attendees at other entertainment venues in Tenerife on those same dates in the call. “The population is requested to follow only the indications recommended by the health workers who attend them and the official appeals made by the Department of Health through the web and social networks. If any other massive appeal were to be necessary, it would be carried out through the established channels “, they indicate in a statement.
The consequences of spreading hoaxes of this type can be serious if the attention of the 900 112 061 line collapses with unnecessary calls that block access to those who need it at any given time.
