The contagions produced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus in Cuba rose this Thursday to the figure of 1,288, the majority caused by autochthonous transmission (1,220) while there were 68 imported cases, according to the report issued by the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP).

In addition, the health authorities highlighted the number of infections produced in vulnerable age groups. The number of people under 20 years of age who tested positive for the virus reached 225, of which 213 were of pediatric ages.

The MINSAP reported 235 infections in people over 60 years old; 391 between the ages of 20 and 39, and 437 between the ages of 40 and 59.
