Given this scenario, which maintains the Greater Antilles, within the most favorable model, the Cuban Government reiterated the call not to neglect even one of the measures taken in the face of the pandemic, which now totals more than 3 million 467 thousand in the world. cases, of them 1 685 in the national territory.
In this Tuesday's session of the temporary working group for the prevention and control of the new coronavirus - always headed by the President of the Republic, Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, from the Palace of the Revolution - the Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz , warned that "confidence is a great enemy, therefore we have to continue with all measures for social isolation."
Even when we are better, he added, this is the crucial moment to continue lowering the indicators and for this we have to continue, with a lot of discipline, applying all the measures.
On this context in which the Island is moving, the Minister of Public Health, José Angel Portal Miranda, reported that 5 thousand 782 people are admitted for the care and surveillance of COVID-19, a figure that represents 50% of the day that the more we had, which was on April 22.
The head explained that to date 11 events of local transmission of the disease have been closed, 4 of them this Tuesday, corresponding to San Agustín and Guiteras, both from Havana; and Cabaiguán and Taguasco, both from Sancti Spíritus. Nine others, he said, should be completed this week.
The highest incidence rates of positive cases per 100,000 inhabitants remain in the territories of the Isle of Youth, with 42 cases; Havana, with 801; Villa Clara, with 194; Ciego de Ávila, with 84; and Matanzas, with 126.
Meanwhile, the municipalities most impacted at present by the number of patients are Santa Clara; six from the capital: Cotorro, Centro Habana, Habana del Este, Cerro, Plaza de la Revolución and 10 de Octubre; as well as Cárdenas.
Faced with this situation, the highest authorities of the Defense Councils of the provinces of Havana and Villa Clara, and of the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud, once again reported to the country's leadership. Regarding the capital, it was known that the hospital occupancy rate stands at 52.3% and the intensive care rate at 8.4%, which indicates that there is no pressure on their health system.
The Governor of Havana, Reinaldo García Zapata, assured that the inquiries in the communities are increasing, "because we have to continue looking for cases, we cannot trust ourselves and we must go out in search of possible patients."
Regarding the central province, its governor, Alberto López Díaz, specified that they have three local transmission events of COVID-19, two in the municipality of Camajuaní and one in Santa Clara, which corresponds to the Hogar de Ancianos No.3, in the which all the indicated measures are fulfilled.
Of the latter, due to its high sensitivity, he explained that 65 cases have been confirmed, 46 of them are grandparents and the rest workers. So far there have been 42 medical discharges; 3 elderly people have died and two are in a critical stable state, although with a negative PCR test.
In the province, he stressed, 39 patients remain hospitalized, including seven suspects and 28 confirmed. The hospital occupancy rate is 8.6%, the lowest figure since the pandemic began to be attended.
For his part, the mayor of the Pinero municipality, Adiel Morera Macías, commented on the two open transmission events on the Isle of Youth; the 27 patients who remain hospitalized, all with a favorable evolution; and the 14 medical discharges granted to date. The hospital occupancy rate of the territory remains at 55%.
In exchanging, through videoconference, with each of these local leaders about the states of opinion that are received from the population and that constitute tools for daily work, the Prime Minister pointed out two that are reiterated: one about “continuing the confrontation with the hoarders, resellers, those who sell the turns of the queues, those who increase prices and affect the people ”.
It is reiterated as a positive thing, he said, that the sanctions that are applied to all those people are being published and made known, and that this continues as part of the fight to eliminate those negative tendencies.
The other rather generalized opinion, added Marrero Cruz, has to do with the indicators of positive cases that have been decreasing and the population highlights the impact of the measures, which cannot lead us to let our guard down.
