Nasalferon

Cuba will begin to administer nasalferon at home to contacts of COVID-19 positive cases and the people who live with them, as part of the application of changes in the protocol to confront the coronavirus epidemic, which began this Tuesday in Havana.

The family doctors and nurses, as well as students of the last years of the medical career, will be in charge of applying the interferon therapy through the nose that, after the Cuban capital, will be validated to be extended to other parts of the country, the newspaper Tribuna de La Habana reported.

During a meeting of the government’s temporary working group for the prevention and control of the pandemic, Cuban Deputy Prime Minister Roberto Morales explained that “the practice should be that all contacts of a COVID-19 positive case be isolated.”

He added that home admission conceives care measures similar to those of isolation centers, such as daily visits by the health workers in charge of the health area.

For his part, the governor of Havana, Reinaldo García, pointed out that with this procedure, families who must fulfill the period of isolation in their homes will feel hospitalized and will generate a greater perception of risk and danger.
