The <\/span>Havana<\/span><\/a> authorities demanded greater rigor in the control of areas in isolation due to outbreaks or events of transmission of COVID-19 in the city, the local press reported.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe key is to sternly demand compliance with the established measures, which are precisely determined in each of the municipalities,\u201d said Luis Antonio Torres Ir\u00edbar, president of the Provincial Defense Council (CDP) of the Cuban capital, <\/span>cited<\/span><\/a> by <\/span>Tribuna de La Habana<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

At a meeting of the Havana governing body, Torres Ir\u00edbar called on local officials to \u201cguarantee that citizens remain at home, bring them basic services such as those related to food, raise the perception of danger, guard the perimeters to prevent someone from entering or leaving, and insist on the use of the mask, even if we are among family or friends.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The president of the CDP asserted that, according to studies carried out, \u201cwhen blocks are closed, foci or events of autochthonous transmission are created, with restrictive and isolation measures, and encouraging results are achieved in those places in the confrontation with COVID-19.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, he said that when this happens, \u201cthe vast majority of the population in these closed areas complies with the established measures and that makes it possible to carry out studies in the community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Torres Ir\u00edbar criticized the \u201cirresponsible\u201d attitude of many people to the appearance of COVID-19 symptoms, \u201cbecause they interpret it as any other disease,\u201d he said and stressed the importance of \u201craising the perception of risk and that whoever has a minimum of symptoms go immediately to the doctor and have the PCR test.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
