The number of patients in ICUs due to COVID-19 reached the highest record this Thursday, when 161 people remained bedridden, 56 in critical condition and 105 in serious condition.
The record of May 28, when the number of patients in intensive care had reached 151, was surpassed now by 10.
For Dr. Francisco Durán, this increase is nothing more than the result of the high incidence that SARS-CoV-2 is having on the island, as he commented during his presentation of the report issued daily by the Cuban Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP).
