A note published on the website of the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX)<\/a> recalls that, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cuba\u2019s borders remain closed.<\/p>\n

Humanitarian flights are excepted from this measure, as well as Cuban citizens residing in the national territory who were stranded in other countries at the time of the epidemic\u2019s outbreak after being authorized.<\/p>\n

For such procedures, \u201cauthorization must be requested at Cuban consulates\u201d and \u201ctravelers must obtain their reservation on humanitarian flights that take place and that generally originate in Europe in Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, Paris or Amsterdam,\u201d MINREX<\/a> explained.<\/p>\n

The information issued this Tuesday warns that the authorization for other Cuban citizens, who it considers \u201cnon-habitual residents,\u201d or for foreigners is carried out in an exceptional manner and its authorization is the responsibility of the authorities in Cuba who analyze the reasons for the request.<\/p>\n

Whatever the cause, travelers authorized to enter Cuban national territory must spend 14 days in quarantine in isolation centers in Havana before going to their destination province.<\/p>\n
