With 86 new infections and almost all the provinces involved, Cuba ends a week in which 650 cases positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus were identified, 194 more than in the previous week, according to Dr. Francisco Durán in his weekly appearance from the Cuban television studios.

This is a period in which all provinces have experienced “discrete increases,” in the words of the national director of Epidemiology of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP), who points to Havana as the territory with the highest number of infections in this period.

Although the capital is among the seven provinces with the highest transmission of the disease, in the statistics collected during the last fifteen days by the MINSAP, Pinar del Río continues to lead. This province’s incidence rate is 18.33 per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by Artemisa (10.10) and the Isla de La Juventud Special Municipality (9.60).

The imported cases are on the rise, but decreased compared to the information provided the previous week, when 265 infections were registered in the last seven days.

The United States, Russia, Mexico, Spain and Germany are having the greatest presence at this point, a figure that corresponds to the increase in travelers from those countries.
