Havana, July 2 (RHC)—Cuban health authorities announced on Friday 3,308 new COVID-19 infections and 20 deaths, a number unheard of since the beginning of the pandemic.

With 17 434 active patients admitted to hospitals, the Caribbean nation remains in a complex epidemiological situation. 
Cuba now accumulates   197 253 infections and 1322 fatalities since March 2020.

Matanzas reported 916 cases, Havana 465, Camaguey 358, and Santiago de Cuba 299. 

June concluded with the most unfavorable figures since the beginning of the pandemic in the country in March 2020, and the same trend continues in July.

The total record in the sixth month of the year of 50,622 diagnoses (an average of 1,687 per day) and 337 deaths due to complications associated with the disease show the high transmission in almost the entire national territory.
An average of 11 deaths was reported each day, even reaching a maximum of 18.

For the first time, the number of confirmed cases exceeded 3,000 in one day.  16,557 patients are currently hospitalized with the active virus, 2,286 of them under 18 years of age (177 under 12 months).

During the last weeks, there has been evidence of greater aggressiveness of the virus in the clinical picture, even in young people and without comorbidities, warned Dr. Francisco Durán, national director of Epidemiology.
