HAVANE (Reuters) – Cuba for the first time in 130 days said on Sunday that there is no new domestic case of COVID-19, as the country’s maximum entered the final phase of the resumption of general activities with mask and social estrangement.
Francisco Durán, head of epidemiology at the Ministry of Public Health, who informed the country about the pandemic on a daily basis, got rid of his mask in the national broadcast for the right time to give the smart news.
Duran, on Saturday did the same, reporting just a single domestic case in Havana.
Only a handful of COVID-19s were reported in Cuba last week, all in Havana. Most of the Caribbean island, with a population of 11.2 million, has been free of the disease for more than a month.
“I’m telling you to stay safe at home, but I know many will go to the beach today,” Durán said, smiling, before reminding his TV audience of social estrangement.
The 2.2 million inhabitants of the capital remain in the first phase of 3 stages of reopening where they can return through public and personal transport, to the beach and other recreation centers, and enjoy a walk on the beach just in time for the summer holidays. Guests can also dine and have a drink.
Each phase, the ability of sites to build up to 60% from the beginning. Interprovincial transport begins in phase two, while Phase 3 includes the reopening of schools.
Social estrangement and masking remain mandatory under maximum circumstances.
The country has opened an organization of remote hotel keys for foreign tourism. The 3rd phase expands foreign based on risk.
The communist-led country earned the highest ratings for its management of the pandemic.
Cuba’s flexible and physically powerful physical network system, door-to-door surveying, patient isolation, suspected cases and contacts have kept the number of infections below 2500 with 87 deaths.
