The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands has diagnosed in the last 24 hours 638 cases of coronavirus, the highest number of infections for a single day in the islands since the pandemic began, as sources from this department have confirmed to Efe.
In addition, a new death has been regretted, specifically in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
By islands, Tenerife once again leads the daily contagion data with 333 cases in the last 24 hours, in addition to the 224 in Gran Canaria. The number of cases is completed by Fuerteventura with 41, Lanzarote with 22, 13 La Palma and 1 in La Gomera.
In the last week, the Canary Islands had twice exceeded the bar of 500 daily cases, with a maximum that to date stood on July 8, with 535 diagnoses.
This new record of 638 cases occurs on the same day that the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands has denied the Government of the autonomous community to apply a night curfew to the islands with the highest incidence (levels 3 and 4), considering that “It has not been proven that the situation in which the epidemic finds itself represents such a serious and imminent danger to health and assistance capacity” that it cannot be tackled with “ordinary means that are less restrictive of fundamental rights.”
