Cuba confirms 95% of COVID-19 patients have recovered

Cuba’s National Institute of Epidemiology Director Francisco Duran confirmed that 95 percent of the country’s COVID-19 patients have recovered from the disease.

Cuba has reported 2,341 patients discharged from hospitals, out of a total of 2,469 people.

Duran added that specialists carried 3,075 diagnostic tests to detect the presence of COVID-19. So far, Cuba has carried 240,894 of these tests.

The Caribbean nation has only 39 persons currently infected by the virus, 38 of them with a stable clinical evolution, and one reported as critical.

“This is a low number, compared to previous stages," Duran explained.
