The 1,044 new SARS-CoV-2 virus infections reported on the first day of February set a new record in Cuba during its battle against the pandemic, which began for its inhabitants last year on March 11.

Most of the cases were autochthonous (1,022), illustrating the main reason for the transmission today, according to the information provided by the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) through the usual press conference of its director of Epidemiology, Dr. Francisco Duran.

Of the new patients, 980 were contacts of confirmed cases, while the imported infections of the day rose slightly to 22. The countries with incidence this time were the United States, Namibia and Spain.

Havana continues to be the province with the highest number of daily cases, 483 today; in fact, nine of its municipalities have the highest incidence rate of the disease in the last 15 days.

But the situation is also complicated in territories such as Santiago de Cuba (165 infections today), Guantánamo (145) and Pinar del Río (58). The three registered the highest number of cases yesterday, and except for Camagüey, which did not report COVID-19 patients despite having reported 36 positive cases the previous day, all provinces diagnosed positive cases.
