It was also reported that of all those diagnosed on the island to date, 165 people present stable clinical evolution.

Meanwhile, the death toll rose to six, after the two deaths reported yesterday. Both cases are Cubans: a 63-year-old patient, admitted to the IPK, with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and ischemic heart disease, and another of 75, with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high blood pressure, and an aortic aneurysm, admitted to the Manuel Fajardo Hospital.

Three patients are reported in critical condition and three in serious condition.

At the time of the report, which includes an update until midnight on Monday 30, 2,837 suspected patients were admitted to health facilities, while the number of isolated people in their homes reached 27,139.

According to Dr. Francisco Durán, national director of epidemiology of MINSAP, as of today Cuba will have 100,000 tests or rapid tests, for which the next diagnoses will be made in a matter of 30 minutes.

“In the control of the epidemic the most important element is to investigate the largest number of people, diagnose them, isolate them, do focus checks and be able to identify everything that is circulating,” said Durán.
