The capital is also at the top of incidence rates, with nine municipalities among those with the highest rates. In general terms, they are followed by Mayabeque, Santiago de Cuba, and Guantánamo.

The epidemiology specialist once again underlined the number of children and adolescents reported daily with COVID-19. The figure was 96 this time, two of them under one-year-old. But, a total of 114 children under 20 years of age were diagnosed with the coronavirus on this day.

Most of the new cases (656) are due to autochthonous transmission, 641 were contacts of confirmed cases, and in 14 individuals the virus was acquired abroad.

There were 905 discharges, but again four deaths were reported, residents of the provinces of Havana and Pinar del Río: three men, one woman, aged between 67 and 85.

The imported cases mainly involved travelers from the United States, Italy, Spain and Russia. Three foreigners were also reported with the disease, with nationalities from Chile, the United States and Ecuador, although they resided on the island.

Until midnight, 19,887 people remained hospitalized; 61 in intensive care: 33 in critical condition and 28 in serious condition.
