CV19 Alert Level Update 30th Oct 2021

 The Governing Council has approved this Thursday the review of health alert levels after the report of the Minister of Health, Blas Trujillo. The result of this is that Fuerteventura drops to level 2 and Gran Canaria to level 1 due to the improvement of its epidemiological indicators. In this way, the well-known level semaphore is as follows: Tenerife and Fuerteventura, level 2; Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro, level 1.

This change will take place at 00:00 this Friday, October 1 after the publication of the well-known traffic light on the website of the Ministry of Health.

Improvement of epidemiological indicators

With respect to Fuerteventura, the report includes that in the evaluation of September 23, the island presented an incipient improvement in transmission indicators with a downward trend that has been maintained in the last 11 days. The rates of IA7d and at 14d have been decreasing, with an average percentage decrease in the rate of IA7d compared to that of 14d from 20 per story, remaining at medium risk levels in the last 7 days.

The occupation of beds on the hospital ward in the last two weeks has varied from low to very low risk, keeping between 0 and 4 occupied conventional beds and between 0 and 1 occupied ICU beds (very low risk level).

For all these reasons, the reduction to alert level 2 is proposed, closely observing the evolution of the indicators in case there were any changes that would lead to a potential rise in level.

For its part, Gran Canaria presented level 1 indicators according to the CISNS criteria in the evaluation of September 23, but the two weeks required to verify the stabilization of an evolution towards the reduction of the risk of transmission and the impact had not elapsed. in hospital care.

In these two weeks, the IA7d rates and at 14d have been decreasing, with an average percentage decrease of the IA7d rate compared to that of 14d of 30 percent. The occupation of beds on the hospital floor has been changing in the context of low risk and the occupation in ICUs shows a downward evolution in this period. For all these reasons, a reduction to alert level 1 is proposed.

The weekly report of the General Directorate of Public Health reflects that "in the whole of the Autonomous Community between September 22 and 28, 578 new cases of Covid have been reported, which represents a decrease of around 9 percent in the daily average of cases reported in relation to the previous week ".

The average 7-day cumulative incidence rate in the Autonomous Community as a whole and in the islands decreases, by around 13.5 percent compared to the previous week. The greatest decrease is observed on the island of Fuerteventura. In general, therefore, the trend is decreasing in the last 15 days.

The daily average of the IA14-day rate decreases to a greater or lesser extent in all the islands and, therefore, also in the Autonomous Community as a whole (18 percent), and continues to be at medium risk since August 30; only El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera are at low or very low risk for this indicator.

Regarding the indicators of care pressure, it should be noted that the number of conventional beds occupied by Covid patients decreased by 23 percent compared to the previous week, with a daily average of 127 occupied beds (3 percent occupancy, low risk) . The number of occupied ICU beds continues and consolidates the decline that began five weeks ago.

The number of daily deaths also decreased with respect to last week from 2 to 1 daily deaths on average. In total this last week there were 7 deaths, 5 in Tenerife and 2 in Gran Canaria.

The median age of all people hospitalized for coronavirus in the last 14 days is 72 years, increasing 6.5 years compared to the previous evaluation. The median age of the people admitted to the ICU in the last 14 days is 60.5 years.

Vaccination and hospitalizations

Of the 47 people admitted to conventional beds in the last two weeks, 48.9 percent did not have the complete vaccination schedule. Seventy-five percent of the people admitted to critical care units during the last two weeks had not received the complete vaccination schedule. In addition, 47.4 percent of people admitted for Covid and diagnosed in the last 14 days had no previous pathologies, this percentage increases in unvaccinated patients in whom 70 percent had no other known pathologies.

The cumulative incidence rate of coronavirus cases in the last week is 5.2 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.

In addition, there is a gradient in the rate of IA7d between vaccinated, one-dose, and unvaccinated people. Thus, while the AI7d rate in the unvaccinated population is of medium risk (69.3 cases / 105 inhab), it is 26.5 in those who have only received one dose and 13.4 among people with a complete regimen, risk very low.
