“There has been a heterogeneous transmission in this region since early this year, and we estimate it will increase,” Reydel Peron, an expert at the Hygiene Center, said.
Calculations made by health professionals and experts from the University of Camagüey indicate that the number of Covid-19 cases has increased by around 400 percent compared to the last week of 2021.
