A total of 2,693 diagnostic tests were studied on Sunday throughout the national territory in order to detect the presence of coronavirus, with 153,233 samples taken so far.

Two hundred forty patients remain in hospitals under clinical-epidemiological surveillance, and another 327 people are being followed up on at their homes by the Primary Health Care.

All the Cuban provinces, except Havana and Matanzas, as well as the special municipality of Isla de la Juventud, began the first phase of the recovery stage after not having reported any more people diagnosed positive for SARS-CoV-2 for a month or longer.
