Authorities of the Ministry of Public Health (MINSAP) of Cuba have declared that there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in the country, after rumors reported about potential contagion.
According to the National Television News, the MINSAP management confirmed that up to the date there are no people infected with Covid-19 in the country.
On this day, the World Health Organization (WHO) reiterated the urgency of stopping contagion following reports of new cases in several countries.
Patients detected in recent days in countries such as Italy or Iran, which show a continuous increase in the number of patients and countries affected, are clearly worrying, said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a press conference.
Recently, WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier informed that five more countries reported a first case of coronavirus: Nigeria, Estonia, Denmark, the Netherlands and Lithuania. (PL)
