The last day of September has left Cuba with 73 new contagions from the SARS-CoV-2 virus, confirming that it has been the month with the highest number of cases since the pandemic began, as Dr. Francisco Durán recently said.
72 of them correspond to Cubans and one to a 28-year-old foreigner living in the Havana municipality of Playa. The person tested positive after his return, and is therefore the only imported case.
