Verdecia, who is a deputy director of Medical Assistance at the institution, told Prensa Latina that of 15 children admitted after to the accident, 10 have been discharged.

Three children remain in a critical condition, one is seriously ill and another is less seriously ill, she said.

Dr. Daniel Rodriguez, head of the surgical service, explained that among the patients, there are students from a school adjacent to the Saratoga Hotel and others who were passing by the place at the time of the explosion, due to a liquefied gas leak.
