Fuerteventura Coronavirus Situation

Latest Fuerteventura Coronavirus Situation

As at 14th March 2022:

Active Infections	Dead (with it not of it!)	In Hospital	In ICU
259	35	3	0

Fuerteventura was on the UK’s Amber List (now done away with I understand).

It seems that from 1st December only those that have a vaccination certificate are permitted to travel to Spain. Do they not look at the statistics which clearly show that you can catch and spread the virus equally whether you are vaccinated or not? The vaccination clearly does not work but they will never admit they are wrong. Total discrimination of those who don’t want to be vaccinated.

1667 is the highest number of active infections so far.

Is Fuerteventura on lockdown?

Because of the low case numbers Fuerteventura is not on lockdown at the moment – but I am sure they are just dying to flex their muscles and bring a lockdown back.

Not updated so check yourself! Visitors can come here on holiday but currently need a valid negative PCR test that is less than 72 hours old (since the test was taken) or a vaccine certificate.

Masks must be worn indoors in public places (including hotel public areas) but no longer need to be worn outside where antisocial distancing can be maintained.

History of the lockdown

Unfortunately, the Canary Islands government has put all of the Canary Islands on lockdown with effect from midnight last night (14th/15th March) due to the Coronavirus hysteria. This is 24 hours ahead of the Spanish government’s plans to lockdown the whole of Spain.

We were then notified that this was being extended by a further 2 weeks to 24th April.

Today, 30/3/2020 the President of the Canary Islands has announced that this is being further extended to cover the whole of April. News report – Confinement for the whole month of April will be essential.

What does this lockdown mean?

There are lots of different restrictions in place now but the most important ones are:

• All bars and restaurants are closed
• Citizens may only go to work, the supermarket, the pharmacy, the bank or to care for relatives.
• People are only allowed to travel alone
• All schools are closed
• Festivals, parades etc are cancelled
• All sporting events cancelled
• Dog walking can continue but dogs must me on a lead and they should be short walks (sorry Oscar and Jenson) – now reduced to just 50m from the house!
• Employers should allow employees to work from home where possible
• You should stay at least 1 metre away from others

Of course, some of this is sensible, particularly cancelling things where groups of people will congregate together. However, there are a few stupid exceptions. An example is that church services can still go ahead, as long as everyone stays 1 metre apart. Now I know there is no greater Atheist than me but surely even religious people can see that a church service is not an essential gathering so they should also be banned.

I have heard that some food shops are only allowing one person in at a time to stop people coming into contact with each other to try and stop the spread of the virus. But that means people are queuing up outside – in other words congregating together. Doh!

Tourists

Tourists that are currently here are being confined to their hotels. Rather stupid in some instances as I know a couple staying in the RIU hotel on the Corralejo dunes beach hotel at the moment. The advice is to stay at least 1m away from other people but everyone is crammed around the pool. The pool overlooks the empty beach where everyone could spread out and stay away from each other.

This is an article stating that the summer tourist trade won’t happen and other information about when things may return to normal – Fuerteventura Tourist Board Write Off Summer

Flights

Jet2 has cancelled all flights, at least for people coming to Fuerteventura. They are flying empty aircraft here to fly people back to the UK. Other airlines are also cancelling flights.

It seems repatriation flights will be arranged to take people back to their home countries.

We know two people who live here that are now stuck in the UK and can’t get back. Update: The last of the two has just arrived back and she was the only passenger coming this way on an Easyjet flight from Bristol.

Update on getting prescriptions

Special measures update. Prescriptions can be ordered over phone and medication picked from chemist up with just health card: Due to the declared pandemic of coronavirus COVID-19. The Ministry of Health of the Government of the Canary Islands, will put in place from Wednesday, March 18, measures to prevent the unnecessary movement of patients to health centers, facilitating obtaining prescriptions without having to go to the clinic.

The objective is allow patients to be attended by their doctor by telephone (requesting an appointment through 012 or using the Canary Health Service app), subsequently enabling their pharmacy to dispense medication without the need to present paper prescriptions, which until now was required.

The patient must present their original Individual Health Card (TSI) at the pharmacy. Patients will be able to obtain an instruction sheet in pharmacies, as an exceptional measure, in case they do not have a health card.

With this measure, it is hoped to reduce attendance at health centers and thus avoid possible crowds and the spread of the virus.

Info here – Health enables the Health Card as the only requirement for dispensing medication in pharmacies
