Wow!!
Is it just me who's alarmed by these exponential increases. 
Surely robust and positive measures are now necessary, it can't be allowed to carry on like this, surely.......

I agree and to be honest I thought we might go to level 4 yesterday 😢😢😢

What are the implications of level 4 please? We are coming over on Wednesday (we hope).

I've been doing a bit of adding up.
On the 1st November 2021 there were 49 active cases. During November there were 541 new cases and so far in December there has been 502. That's 1,043 new cases in the last 41 days.
According to the stats there are 115,000 residents on the island, so a high % have had the virus recently.

The upside of this Stephen is, you have to assume the vast majority were unvaccinated? so now there are 1000 less unvaccinated on the island.

Are there any figures to show whether the cases are all residents or include tourists or migrants?

I flew back to the UK on Monday and was contacted by the NHS Test & Trace service today to notify me that I'd been in contact with a (now) confirmed COVID case. As I've been self isolating since getting home the odds are the contact was on the flight with me. I know that a number of passengers on the flight had cut their holidays short to avoid having to get a pre-departure test. Also the breakdown of cases by municipiality shows La Oliva as the main focus of cases (50%), as Corralejo is in that area and is (one of) the main tourist resorts I'm tending to put 2 and 2 together. Perhaps my 30 years as a research scientist is pushing me towards a conclusion that might not be right?

The figures reported by the online news outlets, as this was, as normally the SCS figures, ie residents with Canarian Health Service cards. However, they could be living anywhere, not necessarily even on this island! 
The government figures are the ones that include migrants and tourists, I'll check them later but they are normally 24 hrs behind. 
I did see that most of Lajares school was closed and all pupils being tested so that may have a bearing on these high numbers.
