"Science advances in Cuba with 115 investigations underway to address COVID-19."
The Cuban president emphasized the importance of maintaining hygienic measures adopted in the nation, to avoid any regression.
“We must rigorously carry out measures corresponding to each phase to avoid a resurgence,” he stressed, adding that "this is something happening at several parts of the world right now, even in countries that had emerged from the pandemic’s most complex moments.”
Even though Havana has had the highest COVID-19 incidence rate, the capital reported only one positive case on Sunday.
