BACKGROUND

I.- The aforementioned Government Agreement was based on Royal Decree-Law 21/2020, of June 9, on urgent prevention, containment and coordination measures to deal with the health crisis caused by COVID-19 , which established the maintenance of certain prevention and hygiene measures that must be complemented by the Autonomous Communities, based on the provisions of the health regulations that enable them to do so.

Through Government Agreements of July 2 and 9, August 3, 13, 20 and 27, September 3 and 4, and 10, October 1 and 8, and December 23, 2020 (BOC nº 134, of 4.7.2020; BOC no. 139, of 10.7.2020; BOC no. 157, of 5.8.2020; BOC no.

II.- The document "Coordinated response actions to control the transmission of COVID-19", of October 22, 2020, approved within the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System, established a framework for action for a proportional response to different health alert levels defined by a risk assessment process based on a set of epidemiological indicators and public health care capacity.

This framework was incorporated into Annex I of the Government Agreement of June 19, 2020 of reference, through the update carried out by the Government Agreement of December 23, 2020 (BOC nº 266, of 12.24.2020).

III.- On the other hand, the Council of Ministers, at its meeting on October 25, 2020, approved Royal Decree 926/2020, declaring the state of alarm to contain the spread of infections caused by by SARS-CoV-2. Subsequently, on November 3, 2020, Royal Decree 956/2020 was approved, extending the state of alarm declared by Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25, also modifying part of its articles.

In accordance with the provisions of article 2.2 of the aforementioned Royal Decree, in each Autonomous Community and city with autonomy statute, the delegated competent authority will be the one who holds the presidency of the autonomous community or city with autonomy statute, in the terms established in said Royal Decree.

For its part, section 3 of the aforementioned article establishes that the delegated competent authorities are empowered to issue, by delegation of the National Government, the orders, resolutions and provisions for the application of the provisions of articles 5 to 11. The measures provided for in articles 5 to 8 (limitation of the freedom of movement of people at night, restrictions on entry and exit in the Autonomous Communities, limitation of the permanence of groups of people in public and private spaces and limitation of permanence of people in places of worship) will be effective in the territory of each Autonomous Community when the respective delegated competent authority so determines, prior notification to the Ministry of Health, in accordance with the provisions of article 9, and the effectiveness of this cannot be measure less than 7 calendar days.

Based on the aforementioned provision, Decree 94/2020 of the President was issued on December 23, 2020, which establishes measures within the scope of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands in application of the aforementioned Royal Decree 926 /2020, of December 23 (BOC No. 266, of 12.24.2020), these measures remaining in force, on each island, until the end of the state of alarm.

IV.- In reference to the Christmas dates in the Canary Islands, on December 3, 2020, Decree 84/2020, of the President - in his capacity as delegated authority of the National Government based on to Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25-, as well as the Government Agreement by which a series of measures were established to guarantee the security and control of the pandemic with the least impact on the development of the Christmas holidays. These measures (which were incorporated as Annex II to the Government Agreement of June 19, 2020, through the update carried out by Agreement of December 23, 2020 -BOC No. 266, of 12.24.2020), were temporarily effective until the date January 10, 2021.

Specifically in relation to the Christmas dates on the island of Tenerife, dated December 16, 2020, Decree 91/2020 -modified by Decree 101/2020-, of the President, in his capacity as delegated authority of the Government of the Nation based on Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25, as well as the Government Agreement (BOC no. 261, of 12.18.2020), by which they were established, in the island of Tenerife, new specific measures of an extraordinary nature during the preparation and celebration of the Christmas Holidays.

In both cases, its effects were extended until January 10, 2021 (extensions made by Decree 100/2020, of December 29, of the President, and by Government Agreement of December 29, 2020 (BOC no. 269, of 12.30.2020).

V.- Once the Christmas holidays have ended, and given that the epidemiological data still did not fully reflect their effects, together with the upward trend observed in the rest of the countries, as well as in the Autonomous Community itself -embodied in the Report of the General Directorate of Public Health of the Canary Islands Health Service of January 7, 2021-, dated January 7, 2021, Decree 1/2021 of the President and Government Agreement (BOC nº 5, of 9.1.21), through which specific and temporary measures were adopted, within the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, to deal with the health crisis, effective until January 24, 2021.

VI.- On January 14, 2021, the Report of the General Directorate of Public Health of the Canary Islands Health Service was delivered in relation to the epidemiological situation of the islands, where it is revealed that, since mid-November, the daily number of cases has increased progressively, and on several occasions in December they have exceeded 300 daily cases and on January 13 that number was also exceeded. On the other hand, the AI7d threshold of 50 cases/100,000 inhabitants has been exceeded since December 5 and the AI14d threshold of 150 cases/100,000 inhabitants has been exceeded since January 11. Since December 27, the incidence in the Canary Islands has been on a clear and sustained increase, and while in Tenerife the incidence has been decreasing in the last month, in Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria, the incidence has been increasing, at an accelerated rate in the first two islands mentioned.

The cumulative incidence trend shows that, after a "second wave" between August and September, and without having decreased the incidence to summer levels, we are, since December, in a rebound of the second wave or possibly before the "third wave", in which the effects of the Christmas holidays are not yet fully reflected. Based on this trend and the situation in the rest of Spain and Europe, it is to be expected that the pandemic situation will worsen in the coming weeks.

The combination of the results of the indicators for risk assessment places the Canary Islands at a risk level that corresponds to alert level two.

At the same time, it is added in the aforementioned Report that it has been shown that early action on the island of Tenerife (derived from the application of the measures approved by the Government Agreement of December 3, 2020 -specific measures of the period for the Canary Islands-, Government Agreement of December 16, 2020 -specific measures of the Christmas period for Tenerife- and those derived from Decree 1/2021, of January 7, of the President, and Government Agreement of this same date), It has been effective and although since December 27 the incidence in the Canary Islands has been on a clear and sustained increase, in Tenerife the incidence has been decreasing in the last month. The evolution of the indicators for risk assessment on the island of Tenerife has undergone a clear improvement, in such a way that, from December 19, at the peak of AI7d, to date, it has been reduced by half (While on December 19 it was at the peak of IA7d with figures of 136 cases/100,000, it is currently at 59 cases/100,000). For an assigned population of 917,000 people, it reflects that it has gone from an average of more than 150 cases per day to less than 80.

On the other hand, through the Report of January 21, 2021 of the General Directorate of Public Health, the epidemiological situation on the island of Lanzarote is specifically analyzed, due to the fact that a worsening has been observed in practically all the indicators of Lanzarote, very quickly, which has led to raising the risk level of the island from level 1, on December 24, 2020, to level 2, on January 7, 2021, and to level 3, on January 14, 2021, with the specific measures associated with each level of risk.

This report analyzes the evolution of different epidemiological and care indicators, with the intention of obtaining a global assessment of the current situation in Lanzarote, making the evolution of the indicator of cases that appear in the most vulnerable population, the elderly, relevant. over 65 years of age, as well as the indicators for the use of care services on the island, when observing that, with a one-week lag, the effect of the increase in the number of new cases translates into an increase in hospitalized cases, and a few days later in an increase in cases in intensive care.

In short, it is necessary to update, in the terms proposed by the General Directorate of Public Health in its Reports dated January 14 and 21, 2021, the prevention measures of the state of alarm adopted by Decree 94/ 2020, of December 23, of the President, in the sense of reinforcing the prevention measures corresponding to health alert level 3, which have been effective in containing the increase in incidence in Tenerife and adopting the corresponding measures at the level of health alert 4, in anticipation that the worsening of the epidemiological situation demands the application of more restrictive measures.

VII.- On the other hand, by Decree 3/2021, of January 18, of the President, section 1 of the Annex to Decree 1/2021, of January 7, of the President, which establishes specific and temporary measures in the area of ​​the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, in application of Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25, declaring the state of alarm, regarding the "Limitation of the entry and exit of the islands that are at alert level 3". In said Decree 3/2021, of January 18, of the President, there are two exceptions to the aforementioned limitation, which are transcribed below:

"1.2. Passengers in transit at a port or airport in the Canary Islands with final destination to another country or another place in the national territory are excepted from the provisions of the previous section.

1.3. Likewise, those persons coming from outside the territory of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands who prove a reservation in a tourist accommodation establishment registered in the General Tourist Registry of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, and are subject to to the public health control regime in admission to an accommodation establishment in accordance with Decree Law 17/2020, of October 29, on extraordinary measures in tourism to face the effects of the health and economic crisis caused by the pandemic caused by COVID-19."

These exceptions approved by the aforementioned Decree 3/2021, of January 18, of the President, are incorporated into Decree 5/2021, of January 21, of the President, and consequently, in section 1.4 of the annex to the this Government Agreement.

VIII.- By virtue of the foregoing, it is necessary to update the measures of the Government Agreement of June 19, 2020 to address the situation of the Autonomous Community which, because it is not within the scope of Royal Decree 926/ 2020 by which the state of alarm is declared, must be agreed by the Government in its capacity as health authority.

As indicated by Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25, in any case, during the validity of the state of alarm, the competent health administrations in public health, in matters not provided for in this regulation, must continue adopting the necessary measures to face the public health emergency situation caused by COVID-19, in accordance with health legislation, in particular, Organic Law 3/1986, of April 14, on Special Measures in Public Health Matters , Law 14/1986, of April 25, General Health and Law 33/2011, of October 4, General Public Health, as well as in the corresponding regional regulations, which, within the scope of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, is constituted by Law 11/1994, of July 26, on Health Regulation of the Canary Islands.

Likewise, it is appropriate to incorporate the measures of the state of alarm that have been issued for this purpose by Decree 5/2021, of January 21, of the President, which modifies Decree 94/2020, of December 23 , of the President, in application of the aforementioned Royal Decree 926/2020, of October 25.

These measures are incorporated into the updated text of the annex to the aforementioned Government Agreement of June 19, 2020.

In relation to the effectiveness of the alert level 4 measures, these prevail over the measures contained in the Government Agreement, of January 7, 2021, which approves specific and temporary measures, in the field of the Autonomous Community of the Canary Islands, to deal with the health crisis caused by COVID-19 (BOC no. 5, of 1.9.21), which maintain their effectiveness for the rest of the alert levels until January 24, 2021.
