During the first month of 2021, the highest number of infected infants was also reported, 49%, and of them two out of five are three months old or less, the specialist explained.

According to the source, until the end of this Sunday, 586 minors remained hospitalized, and 82.8% of all children and adolescents diagnosed during the pandemic had already recovered from the contagious disease.

López said that no pediatric patient has died in Cuba due to “the robust action protocol, with personalized medical care according to the needs of each infant.” She affirmed that Cuban health personnel carry out “meticulous work” to prevent secondary effects, through strict vigilance for any warning signs and early application of treatment.
