Lanzarote latest
Current situation in Lanzarote
The Island is still on level 4 lockdown, there is an expectation it will remain at this level until the Carnival period which is around Shrove Tuesday (Feb 16) has passed - the carnivals themselves are cancelled but the authorities will probably want to avoid any informal gatherings
Previous week in brackets
-Current active cases - 774 (929)
-In hospital - 54 (54)
-In ICU - 19 (21)
-In home isolation - 623 (875)
Note : Lanzarote - 214 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 7 days
UK by comparison is 190
Both still require improvement
Vaccination in Lanzarote
There is still a supply issue on the Island which is being reported in the media, that at the current rate it will take 6 years to vaccinate 70% of the population, to date 1.8% of the population have had their first jab - This will change dramatically as increased supply comes on stream in the Spring
The split of vaccines are
Pfizer - 86%
Moderna - 6%
Astra Zeneca - 8%
Many people in England are waiting for February 22 when Boris Johnson is due to publish the roadmap out of lockdown
Lets hope on
The Covid-19 numbers continue to go down
The vaccination numbers continue to increase dramatically
The roadmap is clear and allows people to plan
