confirmed cases climbed to 83 at the end of
last week.
In the last report issued by the ministerio
de Salud on Friday, June 5, 1.698 cases have
been investigated since April 24, of which
1.506 were discarded. Another 107 are still

One person, a 53 year old man with diabetes
and pulmonary complications is the only
