According to the Agencia Cubana de Noticias (ACN)<\/em> news agency, a strategy to try to decongest public transportation in the city during the so-called \u201crush hours\u201d was presented this Wednesday at the Havana Provincial Defense Council (CDP) and to contribute to social distancing in the first post-COVID-19 stage.<\/p>\n

Minister of Transportation Eduardo Rodr\u00edguez D\u00e1vila said that although reinforcements had been organized so far and they had resorted to alternatives to provide a service consistent with that first phase, Havana was working with less than 600 buses, which is why it was necessary to evaluate other measures to avoid crowding.<\/p>\n

Among the possible alternatives is, he stressed, changing the hours of movements of entities\u2015services and health, for example. Initially, it is planned to implement them in education, higher education, commerce, gastronomy, health and transportation.<\/p>\n

It was also announced that Havana has around 820,000 workers, and that about 644,000 belong to the state sector, so it is essential that the agencies contribute to reorganizing work activities.<\/p>\n
