An official note from the Ministry of Public Health, dated April 22, confirmed the tenth case of the Zika virus imported into the island.
This would be 11 cases of Zika in the country, including the only indigenous case rental agent by the Cuban authorities.
The patient, a woman of 46 years old and lives in Havana, had returned from a personal trip to Guyana .
After presenting the symptoms of the disease he attended a clinic, where he was sent to Miguel Enr?quez Hospital in the capital, and later, the Institute of Tropical Medicine Pedro Kouri, where a laboratory test confirmed the infection.
The patient, whose identity was not revealed, remains hospitalized until the end of recovery.
Public Health Minister Roberto Morales Ojeda, gave details during a weekly video conference in which he said that "this is the time to cut the tail of the epidemic, and eradicate it once."
The Cuban government has declared a spraying campaign and prevention against tranmisor agent of the disease, the Aedes aegypti mosquito, but this could be ineffective and even cause health problems due to theft and adulteration of products used in equipment fumigation.
However, the report notes Saturday a decrease in the rate of transmission of dengue . Authorities declared free of the disease to nine of the 35 affected municipalities: Artemis; Cotorro (Havana); Matanzas, Cardenas and Jag?ey Grande (Matanzas); New Peace and Bejucal (Mayabeque); Manati, Las Tunas; and the Santiago municipality of Palma Soriano.
