Cuba has gone a week without any coronavirus-related deaths, health officials said Wednesday, as the numbers of cases in the country continue to drop.

According to a John Hopkins University tally, the country has so far recorded nearly 1,900 coronavirus cases with 79 deaths, reports the CNN.

People diagnosed with the coronavirus in Cuba are required to receive treatment at hospitals, and wearing masks in public is mandatory.

Since the outbreak began in the island, it has been shut down to everyone but returning citizens and residents.

Despite the apparent success of Cuba's efforts, government officials have said they have no plans to lift the quarantine and country will likely remain on lockdown through June.
