According to the daily report from the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP), 3,308 patients are in hospitals or at home nationwide, 2,257 of whom are suspected cases, 30 are under epidemiological surveillance and 1,021 are active cases.

Of the active cases, 1,000 are clinically stable, while 21 patients are being treated in intensive care units: six in a critical condition and 15 who are seriously ill.

No patient died due to complications related to the disease in the last 24 hours, so the death toll remains at 8,525, MINSAP reported.

Cuba’s lethality rate is 0.77 percent, a figure much lower than 1.22 percent recorded globally and 1.78 percent in the Americas.

At a press briefing on television, MINSAP added that 229 patients were discharged after recovering from the disease, so the number of recovered patients rose to 1,092,750 (99.1 percent of all cases).

To face the epidemiological situation, Cuba has administered 35,680,096 doses of its homegrown Soberana 02, Soberana Plus and Abdala (CIGB-66) vaccines.
