The complexity of the situation is also evident in the increase in confirmed active cases, whose record is likewise the highest in ten months of confrontation with the new coronavirus, now with 3,378 active cases.

In short, and to complicate the hospitals and centers specialized in the care of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there are 6,726 people hospitalized under surveillance, of which 2,339 are suspects. 226 patients were discharged.

The number of patients in ICUs increased to 29, of which 13 are reported in critical condition and 16 in serious condition.

In his television appearance today, Dr. Francisco Durán stressed that, in fact, five children under the age of 20 were reported in serious condition, although in all cases the prognosis was favorable. Just today, in this age group, 74 minors had been diagnosed.

By age group, the rest of the patients classified as follows: 245, between 20 and 39 years old; 141 between 40 and 50. Likewise, 90 were over 60 years old.

Only 26 of the 550 new infections today had a source of infection abroad, a decrease possible thanks to the reduction in flights from abroad, although the countries that affect this aspect are still the United States, followed by Canada, Spain, Puerto Rico and Russia.

Another data of the day is that in 56 individuals the source of infection is not specified, 468 were contacts of confirmed cases and that, of the total, 31 cases correspond to foreigners. Out of this number, 304 (55.2%) were asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis.
