With nine municipalities (Centro Habana, Old Havana, Regla, Plaza, Cerro, Diez de Octubre, Cotorro, Boyero and Marianao) among the 12 with the highest incidence rate in the last 15 days, the capital continues to show a worrying situation.

By incidence rate, it is the province with the second most complicated situation, with 233 per 100,000 inhabitants, only surpassed by Guantánamo (261.65). It is followed by Santiago de Cuba and the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud, whose incidence has increased with the rise in infections in recent days.

As of midnight Wednesday, February 3, 13,502 people were admitted to hospitals or centers prepared for the treatment of COVID-19. Active cases numbered 5,650.

In intensive care the figure barely fell to 57: 30 of them in critical condition and 27 in serious condition; within which a seven-month-old infant stands out.

At this point, Dr. Francisco Durán alerted the population, because 144 of the total of new infections today correspond to children under 20 years of age. 106 of them hadn’t even come of age.

Only in January, according to the specialist, 1,626 minors were reported with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, a figure higher than throughout 2020, when the new coronavirus affected 1,308 children and adolescents.

On this day there were 774 discharges, with which the recovered patients now total 24,468.
