Update CV19 Outbreaks

 Health has notified this Wednesday a total of 11 new outbreaks on the island in the last week, three more than in the previous one. Seven of them are framed within vulnerable groups and in this case they are related "directly to the arrival of cayucos or boats with positives on board", another in hospitality with 11 affected people and the remaining three are defined as "mixed".

In the rest of the Archipelago, 120 new outbreaks have been reported, which represents a decrease compared to those reported seven days ago 141 and a very significant decrease compared to 14 days ago, which totaled 176. This decrease is in line with the decrease in cumulative incidence (AI) in the Islands and decrease in daily cases.

To the 131 new outbreaks in the Archipelago, are added those that are being monitored, which are 67 counting those that have been closed and those that are added from the previous week. In total, the new outbreaks add up to 613 cases, a decrease from 56 cases to the 669 notified last week.

Of these, 69 have occurred on the island of Gran Canaria (five less than the previous week); 45 in Tenerife (three less than last week); three in Lanzarote; one in La Gomera and one in El Hierro. There has also been an outbreak of five people in a prison in Gran Canaria.

By areas, 55 outbreaks are family related, all of them related to different addresses. In this sense, it should be noted that the trend of outbreaks with fewer associated cases continues and most of them have fewer than 5 people.

Family outbreaks are followed in number by those linked to socially vulnerable groups with 21, of which 19 are directly related to the arrival of boats or boats with positives on board.

There are 13 labor outbreaks and they are distributed among construction, catering, trade and hospitality companies, while 7 outbreaks are found in the health and social health fields.

The rest of the outbreaks up to 131 are defined as mixed where work, social and family environments are mixed.

Of the outbreaks being monitored, one of the cargo ships notified last week has gone from 12 to 19 infected; that of the beauty center in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has gone from 4 people to 10 infected; and that of the Amavir Socio-Health Center has not grown, staying in the initial 8 infections.
