On another tweet, the president underscored that medical brigades will support #Matanzas to overcome the most complex epidemiological situation in the country.

‘Our doctors grow in the face of difficulties and build bridges to help in the most difficult times. Thank you, again, for so much altruism. #WeAreCuba,’ he added. In the briefing of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) on Tuesday on the Covid-19 national situation, Matanzas presented 828 Covid-19 cases with the highest records in the municipalities of Cardenas (130) and Matanzas’ capital (309).

The tense sanitary panorama of the province is aggravated by the circulation of new strains of the coronavirus and indiscipline, recently noted a group of MINSAP specialists chaired by its minister, Jose Angel Portal.

To stop the high transmission of the virus and peak infections, Portal stressed the importance of individual, family and population responsibility.
