SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 8 Sep. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands has updated this Thursday the health alert levels after the epidemiological report of the General Directorate of Public Health that states that all the islands continue at the same level of alert in which they were, remaining at level 1 or low risk.
The indicators of the use of health services, referring to the occupation of beds, are fundamentally those that mark the severity caused by covid-19, and those that are taken into consideration to determine the level of health risk.
In this way, five alert levels are established (from 0 to 4) that evaluate whether the situation is controlled circulation, which would be the lowest, or low, medium, high or very high risk, indicates a note from the Ministry .
CARE INDICATORS
In the Autonomous Community as a whole, the daily average of conventional hospital beds occupied by covid-19 patients decreased by 13.4 percent.
The level of risk in percentage of occupancy of conventional beds is in controlled circulation for the Canary Islands and all the islands are at a low risk level or in controlled circulation.
TREND IN OCCUPANCY OF ICU BEDS
The number of occupied ICU beds has dropped to five beds on average in the last week and the percentage of occupancy continues at an average of 1.2 percent, maintaining controlled circulation in the Autonomous Community as a whole and on all the islands.
Likewise, the occupancy rate of ICU beds per 100,000 inhabitants drops to an average of 0.23 occupied ICU beds per 100,000 inhabitants and all the islands remain in controlled circulation.
INCIDENCE IN PEOPLE OVER 60 YEARS OF AGE
In the autonomous community as a whole, the rate of Cumulative Incidence at seven days for people over 60 years of age continues to decline, with a decrease of fourteen percent compared to the previous week. In this sense, all the islands remain at a low risk level or controlled circulation.
