Two deaths, an increase in infections, more confirmed active cases, a growth in hospitalized patients and a record number in intensive care is the balance that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has left in Cuba this Thursday, according to this Friday’s report by the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) broadcasts this Friday.

The ICUs, although “not over flooded,” as explained yesterday by Dr. Francisco Durán, report the highest number of patients since March: 40 in nine provinces. Of them, 13 are in critical condition and 27 in serious condition.

In addition, five of those who remain in intensive care have not reached the age of 18, an age group that increases to a total of 1,807 cases. Only in the last 24 hours, 73 children under 20 years of age were reported, a group that has 341 active cases.

Until midnight on Thursday, 7,647 people were under surveillance in hospitals or health centers created for patients suffering from the new coronavirus; 2,776 were suspects and confirmed active cases, in addition, amounted to the total number of 3,960.
