The professor of the Ulpgc and spokesman for the scientific committee that advises the Government of the Canary Islands on the approach to the coronavirus, Lluís Serra, has advised this Monday that confinement will be "staggered" and avoiding crowds in restaurants and large events because "the peaks" in the Canary Islands are related to mass celebrations.
Although the final decision will be taken by the Ministry of Health, it maintains that "most likely" citizens will go out on the street with a mask "so as not to infect" other people since a part of those infected get the Covid-19 asymptomatically.
In a statement released by the Executive after the meeting of the health emergency committee, he commented that in the Canary Islands a commission has been created, through the General Directorate of Public Health, to "negotiate and discuss" with the Ministry about the "specificities "of the archipelago and open up the possibility that unconfinement will be done at a "different rate "from other Autonomous Communities.

"We are islands", he comments, and also the health profile of the canaries, marked by cardiovascular diseases, diabetes or hypertension, makes it advisable to practice exercise. "We don't want people to be sedentary at home," he says.

Serra also remarks that "the Canary Islands is evolving in a very satisfactory way" and it is "good news" that the contagion rate is already at 0.6%. "That has not been achieved by any government but you, staying at home, and the hospital workers," he says.
