SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, June 30. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The spokesman for the Government of the Canary Islands, Julio Pérez, stated this Thursday that the Executive does not see the need to take additional measures to try to control the rise in infections by Covid-19 that has been recorded in recent weeks on the islands.
In a press conference to account for the agreements of the Governing Council, he pointed out that “at least in the current situation”, the indicators of care pressure for Cumulative Incidence do not require the taking of restrictive measures.
However, he pointed out that the evolution of the disease is still being monitored, especially that related to hospital occupation, and recalled that the vaccination campaign is still open for people who have not covered the corresponding doses.
In this way, there are no changes in levels on the islands and Gran Canaria will continue for one more week at level 2 –medium risk due to Covid-19– and the rest will continue at level 1 –low risk–.
Care indicators maintain a stable evolution and the daily average of conventional hospital beds occupied by covid-19 patients amounts to 16.9 percent.
The level of risk in percentage of occupancy of conventional beds amounts to medium for the Canary Islands, although most of the islands are at a low level or in controlled circulation, except for Gran Canaria, which is at a medium risk level.
Regarding the number of occupied ICU beds, it rises 21.6 percent compared to the previous evaluation and the occupancy percentage stands at four percent, maintaining controlled circulation on all the islands except Gran Canaria, which rises to the level of Low risk.
The occupancy rate of ICU beds per 100,000 inhabitants amounts to 1.06 ICU beds occupied per 100,000 inhabitants and all the islands are in controlled circulation, except for Gran Canaria, which is at a low risk level.
In people over 60 years of age, in the Autonomous Community as a whole, the Accumulated Incidence rate at seven days for people over 60 years of age rose thirteen percent with respect to the previous week.
Finally, most of the islands are at medium risk, like the community as a whole, except for Gran Canaria, which rises to a high risk level.
