Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel announced this Tuesday more drastic closure measures to face the high incidence of COVID-19 in the country, insisting on the need for people to act responsibly.
From his Twitter account, he assured that the low perception of risk is the greatest danger. “An alarming start of April, with a daily average of more than a thousand cases, most of them in Havana. In the next few hours there will be more drastic closure measures, as occurred in the first outbreak of COVID-19,” he wrote.
In addition, he urged the population to have a more responsible collective action “for the good of our families and the country: distancing, hygiene and masks.”
He said that more than 90,000 volunteers are already receiving the second dose of the nationally produced Soberana 02 and Abdala vaccine candidates.
He also announced that it will take months for Cuba to be fully immunized.
