Cuba has thus reached a total of 117 deaths from Covid-19, since the start of the pandemic last March.
According to the expert, 8,175 samples were studied in the different molecular biology laboratories until midnight on Monday in order to detect the last 81 patients. Five hundred fifty-four thousand four hundred twenty-five PCRs have been processed in real time throughout the national territory.
