Authorities date the peak of the pandemic at the end of April, with an average of 50 cases per day. In May and June, a gradual decline in the curve began, culminating on July 20, the first day that no infections were recorded.<\/p>\n<p>But a week later the numbers started increasing rapidly, returning to an average of 50 in the last three days, including imported cases. In the first eight days of August, 90% of all cases in July were registered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reopening with cases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What happened and why did it happen so fast? The truth is that in this scenario a sarcastic Cuban saying gains strength, which says: \u201cCuba is Havana and the rest are green areas.\u201d The focus is on the capital, which will determine (or not) the final success of the Cuban strategy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/tag\/salud-en-cuba\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The increase in contagions<\/a> has been gradual since at the beginning of July Havana entered the first phase of reopening, a three-stage national normalization plan through which most of the country had been passing weeks before without outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/cuba\/nuevo-evento-de-transmision-de-la-covid-19-en-la-habana\/<\/p>\n<p>In the capital, with more than two million inhabitants, it was different. In fact, all the new contagions now detected in other provinces (Santa Clara, Artemisa, Pinar del R\u00edo&#8230;.) where the virus was already just a bad memory are also related to trips to Havana.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to separate things. Havana is part of Cuba, but so far the significant increase in cases occurs mainly in the capital and a population nucleus (Bauta, in neighboring Artemisa) associated with a source of contagion,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/photo?fbid=3515118395179604&amp;set=a.489724491052358\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">molecular biologist and researcher of the University of the State of Sao Paulo (UNESP) Amilcar P\u00e9rez Riverol<\/a> explained to <em>EFE<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for other nations, in Cuba the analysis and, therefore, the measures to be implemented should not be homogenized. For now, the rest of the country continues with a favorable epidemiological evolution,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>This Cuban expert, whose detailed and didactic analysis of the development of the pandemic in Cuba has been applauded by his compatriots on social networks, considers that several factors explain what happened, but he doesn\u2019t believe that the main reason for the current trend lies in a premature reopening of the capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s true that most, if not all of the Cuban territories, entered phase 1 with a history of zero cases during the last 15 to 30 days. In contrast, Havana never had a sequence of more than 5 days with one or no cases, and only completed one of 10 days with 5 daily or less confirmed cases,\u201d he recalled.<\/p>\n<p>But \u201cthis doesn\u2019t mean that entering phase 1 was a mistake. It just points to the difference in circumstances in which this step took place and that partially explain the differences,\u201d he specified.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Confusing non-confinement with normality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In his opinion, \u201cpart of society and state institutions seem to have confused non-confinement with normality\u201d and \u201cas long as there is viral activity, beyond de-escalation or any of its stages, four basic principles must be maintained.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_225809\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-225809\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Corona-fase-1_otm20200709_0249-1024x683-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-225809\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Corona-fase-1_otm20200709_0249-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Corona-fase-1_otm20200709_0249-1024x683-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Corona-fase-1_otm20200709_0249-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Corona-fase-1_otm20200709_0249-1024x683-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Corona-fase-1_otm20200709_0249-1024x683-1-750x500.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-225809\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Otmaro Rodr\u00edguez.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWidespread use of masks, physical distancing, avoiding crowds, as well as environments and activities with a high risk of transmission, and maintaining rigorous personal hygiene and of contaminated surfaces.
