Cuba reported that 63,639 patients have recovered from Covid-19, accounting for 94.3 percent of 67,476 active cases.

Dr. Francisco Duran, national director of Epidemiology at the Cuban Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP), said at his daily press conference on television that 718 Covid-19 cases have been reported in the past few hours, and 779 patients were discharged from hospitals.

Three patients died of complications related to the disease on Sunday, so the death toll has risen to 397 since the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.

The expert informed that 3,384 active cases remain in hospitals, 3,953 of whom have a stable clinical evolution, 45 are in a serious state and 32 are critical.

Dr. Duran added that among the new Covid-19 cases are 94 people under 18 years of age (one of them is an infant) from almost all provinces in the country.

No children or teenagers have died so far, and 91.8 percent of them have been medically discharged. However, 648 of them are still active cases, including a newborn baby who is in a critical state and an 18-year-old teenager, who is in a critical condition too.

Cuba is making progress in the development of five vaccine candidates of its own against the disease, two of which (Soberana 02 and Abdala) are already in the third phase of clinical trials.
