In the case of the Chinese virus, the last day of the period ended with 906 positive samples, which implies a significant rebound, since until April 15, 2020, a little more than a month after the pandemic began, there was an accumulated number of 862 positive cases, down from a single day in this rebound. The problems with the medical supplies, the shortage of PCR and the delay in the results, by laboratories that were overwhelmed, have been definitive for this month, in which the inefficiency of the Public Health system has been noticeable. To which must be added the lack of ambulances, which has caused public transport buses to be used to move patients infested with the disease; which brought as a result –the one that has been disclosed so far- the death of a 5-year-old girl from Matanzas, who could not be rushed to the provincial pediatric hospital because the ambulance appeared 5 hours after being requested and was not properly equipped with the girl dying two hours later. The number of infected children is also alarming; as well as the way in which the number of deceased has grown.

On 14 August, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck 12km (7.5 miles) northeast of Saint-Louis du Sud, Sud department, at a shallow depth of 10km (6.2 miles) at around 08:30 local time (12:30 GMT). Local reports indicate that at least 2,189 people have been killed with some 12,200 more injured in Grande-Anse, Nippes and Sud departments, including in Les Cayes, Les Anglais, Jeremie, Maniche, Okay and Arniquet, following the earthquake. The death toll is expected to rise. Tens of thousands of buildings have also collapsed or been damaged, including hundreds in Port-au-Prince, Ouest department, and Jacmel, Sud-Est department, with over 30,000 families displaced and some 600,000 people affected. Emergency operations are ongoing following the earthquake and hospitals have so far been overwhelmed by patients. The emergency response was hindered due to flooding triggered by Tropical Depression (TD) Grace, which tracked over the country on 16-17 August.
