The Cuban touristic facilities have been certified with the "More Healthy and Safe Tourism" status, according to the protocols determined by, and granted by, Cuba's Ministry of Public Health to confront the novel coronavirus. Among the biosafety measures are conditions to assure physical distancing, disinfection of hands, and relevant information made available to travelers.
The visitors will remain within the geographical limits of Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo, and Cayo Cruz, outside of which they will be unable to enjoy many activities, to avoid any risk of spreading COVID-19.
