The ministry's director of hygiene and epidemiology Francisco Duran reported in his daily broadcast that of the infections registered in the last day, 805 of them were contacts of confirmed cases, which verifies the high level of transmission in the Caribbean country.
He also pointed out that more than half of the cases diagnosed in the past day were located in Havana, the epicenter of the pandemic on the island.
In the capital, authorities maintain restrictive health measures that include limiting mobility from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., as well as severe fines for those who do not wear masks or wear them incorrectly.
Since January, Cuba has been facing a new wave of COVID-19 infections, forcing authorities to re-apply restrictive measures such as the suspension of the school year and the closure of public places throughout the country.

The danger from the COVID-19 pandemic is still latent, threatening people’s health and lives in the context that the immunity provided from the COVID-19 vaccine has decreased. Many other dangerous diseases are also likely to break out when the global vaccination rate slows down, due to inequality in access to health services, vaccine hesitancy, and consequences of economic recession.
