A total of 54 persons remain hospitalized on the island, two of which are reported seriously ill. No critically ill patients are reported, according to the daily report of the MINSAP on the situation of the COVID-19 epidemic in Cuba.

Four of the cases reported from the Friday report were asymptomatic, and 76 people are in isolation centers under suspicion.

In his usual press conference, Durán pointed out that in the new post-COVID-19 recovery scenario that reached its second phase in most of the Cuban provinces with the exception of Havana and Matanzas, “it is when the protection measures have to be maximized, because we are already on the street, we return to activity and the risk increases.”
