There are 24 new cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection reported in RAM. There are 5 imported cases (3 from Spain, 1 from Venezuela and 1 from Italy) and 19 cases of local transmission.

There are more than 8 recovered cases, and there are currently 100 active cases, of which 28 are imported cases and 72 are of local transmission.

Not great news but with the Delta variant on the island its expected, and will only get worse. 95% of the island hasn’t have covid, so there is no immunity, and more people will have to get the virus to break chains.

  1. Is there any part of the world where there is this so called “group immunity” and therefore cases are not growing?

  2. Today more than 500 cases reported in Balearic and more than 500 cases reported in Canary Islands. According to Germany these regions are safe.

  3. Let’s not get back on the Amber list or it’ll be difficult to go anywhere from the island.

    1. Do you really think that the main problem of cases increasing is going back to lists defined by countries like UK and Germany? Those lists are completely and absolutely random, you can have low cases and go into red or a huge number cases and go into green. There is absolutely no sanitary criteria, it is all political.

  4. The RKI has just updated their list. Canary Islands and Balearic have an incidence over 130 are considered basic risk areas. The incidence in Madeira is lower than 25 and it is considered a high risk area. Someone should go to jail.

  5. I have observed during the last 6 weeks, people are dropping their guard. Masks, regular hand washing, wear cotton gloves when shopping and holding onto stair bannisters. Yesterday, I told off a young man leaving toilet and returning to his table without washing his hands. Also, supermarkets are very dangerous places – they need to introduce a one-way system down their aisles. and stop taxi drivers congregating at entranceway without masks.
    Observe 2 metres distance and common sense – please keep Madeira safe – I am booked to return end September!
