For several weeks Cuba has experienced a new outbreak of the disease, which has also increased the number of deaths. Until this Saturday, 266 deaths from coronavirus were reported since the first cases of the pandemic were confirmed during the month of March.
To try to contain the high number of infections, the authorities have applied in provinces such as Havana a series of restriction measures such as the sale of products by municipalities of residence, the curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. and the suspension of the school year.
