Less than half (394) were asymptomatic at the time of their detection, while 424 were female and 495 male.

By age group, the most affected were 40 to 59 years old with 365 patients, followed by those between 20 and 39 years old, with 289. This time, those under 20 were 113, of which 98 are in pediatric ages and five are infants. Those over 60, meanwhile, were 152, which continues to alarm the authorities, as this is a high-risk group.
Finally, by province, Havana monopolized the largest number of new cases, with 502. Camagüey (109) and Santiago de Cuba (107) also exceeded one hundred, while none of the remaining provinces reached 50, with Pinar del Río (40), Cienfuegos (31) and Matanzas (24).
With these figures, Cuba today shows a rate of 105.7 autochthonous COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 15 days and maintains a complex epidemiological situation, amid a re-outbreak that at the end of March could mark a new record of infections for a month on the island.
