Alarmante inicio de abril, con promedio diario de más de mil casos, la mayoría en La Habana. En próximas horas habrá medidas de cierre más drásticas, como ante el primer rebrote de #Covid19. Baja percepción de riesgo es el mayor peligro. pic.twitter.com/IguMW8OjQm

The deaths this Monday correspond to two men and two women, aged between 55 and 89, and residing in Bayamo (Granma), Habana del Este and Boyeros (Havana), and Cueto (Holguín).
In the case of the Cueto death, and according to the report issued by the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP), “protein-calorie malnutrition and senile dementia” were detected.
Most of the patients today owe the contagion to autochthonous transmission (1,021), 991 were contacts of confirmed cases and nine were Cuban travelers who acquired the virus abroad, in Russia and Mexico.
Regarding the age group, those under 20 continue with the high levels of infections: 187 cases, among which 177 had not reached the age of majority. The rest: 335, between 20 and 39; 363 between 40 and 59, and 145 over 60.
Six provinces increased their diagnoses and the territories that reported the highest figures were Havana (437), Matanzas (161), Granma (114), Sancti Spíritus (93) and Santiago de Cuba (65). The lowest numbers come from Las Tunas (seven) and Guantánamo (two).
Regarding the incidence rate per 100,000 inhabitants in the last 15 days, Havana (347.1) and Granma (167.4) are the territories with the highest incidence; in fact, 10 Havana municipalities, one from Granma and the other from Matanzas, concentrate 47.5% of the transmission in the last two weeks.
On the island, the 42 active events with the highest incidence are reported in Granma, Havana, Pinar del Río and Santiago de Cuba, highlighted the national director of Epidemiology of the MINSAP in his conference, where he also advanced the notice of Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel, who reported on Twitter that, due to the results of the virus this month, “in the next few hours there will be more drastic closure measures, such as before the first outbreak.”
