During his press appearance, Dr. Francisco Durán also stressed that compared to the 146 deaths reported last year, the 401 registered between January and so far in April represent a painful and at the same time worrying figure, which shows the quick transmission of the disease, already with several strains identified on the island.

As for the 1,006 infections, 988 were due to autochthonous transmission and 20 were imported cases, with an incidence of Cuban travelers, one Colombian and one Russian, from Russia, Mozambique and Colombia.
