A total of 720 new cases of coronavirus and four deaths were reported this Saturday in Cuba by health authorities after the study of 17,892 samples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Francisco Dur\u00e1n, national director of Epidemiology, pointed out during his regular appearance that 680 cases of confirmed contacts were confirmed, 17 with a source of infection abroad and 23 without being able to determine, so far, the source of contagion.<\/span><\/p>\n

This time the number of patients with COVID-19 decreased compared to the previous day, but continues to reflect the high rates of infections that the country has experienced for more than a month, which has caused an increase in deaths.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The specialist indicated that four new deaths from the disease were reported, bringing the death toll to 318.<\/span><\/p>\n

The head of Epidemiology indicated that 19,491 patients are hospitalized, of which there are 4,221 active cases with the disease, 3,072 suspects and 12,198 in epidemiological surveillance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Havana remains the epicenter of the pandemic with 362 cases, followed by the provinces of Mayabeque (60 cases), Camag\u00fcey (55), Santiago de Cuba (45) and Artemisa (37).<\/span><\/p>\n

In the midst of this complex epidemiological scenario, it was reported that next March the Soberana 02 and Abdala vaccine candidates will enter phase 3 of clinical trials.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both vaccine prototypes, according to Cuban scientists, have shown to be safe and elicit a powerful immune response to the coronavirus.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
