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.
