Coronavirus alert levels: Tenerife stays red – what applies in the Canary Islands

The Canary Islands have improved by around twelve points. The seven-day incidence rate has fallen from over 71 at the end of March to below 60 now. Nevertheless, the situation remains tense: the figure has suddenly risen again. Gran Canaria is stagnating at a high level of just under 75, and Tenerife is once again above the Canary Islands‘ average. At least Fuerteventura has recorded a significant decline.

The Government of the Canary Islands has taken note of the improvement Fuerteventura. However, this does not, for the time being, change the classification at alert level three. The decision to leave all the islands at their respective alert levels had already been announced on Thursday by government spokesperson Julio Pérez. The aim is to see a further improvement in the figures.

Around Easter, the Canary Islands government had imposed special rules. These will be lifted again from 10 April. The new regulations to be introduced are set to apply for at least a week, and possibly longer. Pérez said that the situation would be reassessed at a government meeting on 15 April.

Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura move to red alert

The current classification means that Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura remain at coronavirus alert level three («red alert»). Lanzarote, together with the associated La Graciosa, is at Level Two («amber»). La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro remain at the first alert level («green»). Alert Level Four remains unassigned.
