Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel regretted her passing and offered condolences to her relatives.

 

The president said that this is sad news that marks a before and after in the course of the epidemic in the country, which had passed so far without reporting pediatric deaths.

 

Until Saturday, Cuba recorded an average of 1,025 people diagnosed with Covid-19 per day in April, for a total of 10,255 confirmed cases and 34 deaths.
