An interesting fact is that the number of autochthonous cases exceeds that of imported cases (136-65), although Dr. Francisco Durán highlighted in his television appearance that many of them are linked to cases whose source of infection was located abroad. “There are more locals, although a high number of them have to do with imported cases and with the breach of the protocols established for travelers,” he said.

According to the director of Epidemiology of the MINSAP, 53 of the 136 autochthonous cases are related to imported cases, 70 were contacts of imported cases and in 13 of them the source of infection was not identified.

The provinces with the highest reports of patients were Havana (75), Matanzas (30), Villa Clara (23), Camagüey (11) and Artemisa (10), although seven other territories identified positive cases after 10,136 tests were carried out yesterday.

At this point, Durán referred to the fact that the decrease in PCR tests in recent days is related to the decrease in flights, one of the measures established by the Cuban government to stop the registered rise of the disease in December.

“We are going to increase as we develop a group of studies that allow us to detect asymptomatic cases,” he said.

In addition to the 65 individuals with a source of contagion abroad, out of the total number of cases today, 123 were contacts of confirmed cases and only in 13 the origin of the source was not specified. 60.2% were asymptomatic.

Dr. Francisco Durán also highlighted the number of active cases, 1,746; while 3,479 patients remained under surveillance in specialized centers.

In intensive care, Meanwhile, there were 20 people in intensive care: seven in critical condition and 13 in serious condition.
