The Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) reported this Tuesday that, after the processing of 18,162 samples in 23 laboratories, the balance of the SARS-CoV-2 virus for the Island during the last 24 hours was 774 infections and four deaths, with which the death toll now stands at 401.

The deceased are four men, three from Havana and one from Pinar del Río. Their ages ranged from 53 to 85 years old. With them, the lethality rate is 0.59%, below that of the world (2.20%) and the Americas region (2.39%), although high for the aspirations of the Cuban health system, according to the national director of Epidemiology of the MINSAP, Dr. Francisco Durán.

In March alone, the coronavirus pandemic has left 77 deaths in Cuba and 17 660 infections.

Havana reported the highest number of infections, with 404 cases, followed by Granma (102) and Santiago de Cuba (73). On the contrary, the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud (two), Las Tunas (seven) and Cienfuegos (five) accounted for the lowest figures.

Dr. Durán stressed that one of the patients in critical condition is an eight-year-old girl, a moment of his daily talk on television that he used to emphasize the danger that the disease represents for the most vulnerable groups.

Yesterday 109 people under the age of 20 were diagnosed with the disease; of which 102 were of pediatric ages and, among these, eight infants. Yesterday’s number of people over 60, 140, was also high.
