Havana [Cuba], January 11 (ANI/Xinhua): Cuba reported three more deaths and a record 388 new cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Ministry of Public Health (Minsap) reported on Sunday.
The ministry stated that of the new cases, only 35 have a source of contagion abroad, confirming the existence of a new outbreak of the disease.
With these new cases, active cases on the island have hit 2,534, with 7 people in critical condition and 17 in intensive care.
Authorities are associating the current rebound in cases in the country with the entry of travelers from abroad during the end-of-year holidays. The situation has forced the government to adopt new restriction measures in several provinces.
Starting on Sunday, travelers arriving from abroad will be required to submit a health declaration and a PCR test carried out no more than 72 hours before flying.
Cuba has so far registered a total of 14,576 cases of the disease, with 151 deaths. (ANI/Xinhua)
