Seven people in critical condition and seven in serious condition were reported.

In response to OnCuba’s question about possible differences between the isolation measures applied at local transmission sites in Havana and the strictest quarantines decreed in other provinces, Dr. Francisco Durán, national director of epidemiology of MINSAP, said there are no differences in their application

“Quarantine measures are in relation to the number of confirmed cases, with the extension…because there are times that they are delimited to a small area, there are times that they are extended a bit more in the territory; but, wherever, in all the events in which quarantine measures have been applied they are all the same. There is a pattern, there is a regulation on what are the aspects that must be complied by the population, by the organizations that participate in these actions, by the Civil Defense,” he said.

At yesterday’s close, the number of people hospitalized for clinical epidemiological surveillance reached 3,688 patients, while 6,839 were under primary healthcare surveillance at home.

Cuba has processed a total of 45,344 tests, of which 3.2% have been positive.
