Today, 52.3% of all SARS-CoV-2 virus carriers were asymptomatic at the time of diagnosis.

The territory with the highest number of patients was Havana, with 175 positive cases between imported and autochthonous, followed by Santiago de Cuba (91), Matanzas (85), Villa Clara (41) and Ciego de Ávila (27), although all provinces registered cases today.

By age group, 69 are under 20 years of age, an aspect that Dr. Durán drew attention to, since 54 of them are in pediatric ages and five were reported in serious condition, although with a positive prognosis.

The rest classify as follows: 206 between 20 and 29 years, 148 between 40 and 59, and 82 are over 60.
