As of 23:59 on February 1st Today's infection status 906 newly infected people (16 of whom are foreign travelers including Cubans), 5469 currently positive, 21856 recoverers, 216 fatalities 27592 people infected

It's February.
Unfortunately, the number of infected people increased sharply throughout the month in January, and the number of newly infected people per day finally exceeded 1000 the day before yesterday, reaching more than 400 in Havana alone. Serious numbers. The government has announced measures to further reduce international flights and isolate facilities for immigrants, including foreigners. If you are a foreigner, you will be staying at the designated hotel and you will be responsible for the cost.
By the way, speaking of February, the "International Trade Fair for Books" starts lively every year in Havana, but it was announced that it will be canceled early this year. It is unavoidable to cancel because it is an event where all the citizens of Havana will participate in the two weeks being held at the World Heritage Site of La Cabaña, so it is unavoidable. It's a shame because everyone is looking forward to it.

[January 25, the state of Copacabana]
Rio, which is crowded with tourists from all over the world every year, cannot beat Corona and shows a mysterious way of calming down.

When you enter the street a few lines back from the beach, many shops are closed and you can feel the depth of the scars on the corona, but since the corona vaccination has started, it will end as soon as possible and the original Hope to return to Rio!

From January 10th, it is mandatory to show a negative proof of PCR test when entering Cuba. There are more and more places in the world taking similar measures as border measures against coronavirus, so I think that the situation of PCR testing at the destination is worrisome.
In Cuba, PCR tests are carried out free of charge for all immigrants at the time of entry, but if necessary at the time of departure, it is possible to have them tested at the nearest hospital, clinic or laboratory and prepare a certificate. I can do it. If you are staying at a hotel, it is a good idea to consult with a medical staff stationed there. The cost is 30 USD. (These measures are subject to change, so please check when traveling). If you need an English certificate, be sure to ask the inspection site.
* The photo shows only the PCR negative certificate issued in Cuba and the test date, so please add the time if necessary.

[Chinese restaurant in Centro]
A popular shop in the shopping district where you can easily drop in by yourself.
The menu is as simple as the store, with only noodles and dumplings (water dumplings and grilled dumplings), but the price is low, so it is perfect for people who want to save time and money.

The taste is ... well, don't worry too much (laughs)

[Carnival in Rio 2021 canceled]
On January 21, the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro announced that the 2021 Rio Carnival was scheduled to be canceled in July.

We tried to postpone the event from February to July, but we decided to cancel it because we think that it is impossible to hold the parade to ensure the safety of all (participants / spectators) by July.

It was the first "cancellation" in carnival history. .. ..

I pray that 2022 will be held safely! !!

The spread of new corona infections has not stopped, and the government has announced that eight states, including Havana, will be retreated from the convalescent period to the epidemic period. As a result, measures such as closing bars, nightclubs, discos, theaters, closing schools and closing public facilities, and stopping public transportation at night will be taken to strengthen infection prevention measures.
There are no restrictions on tourism as long as you comply with the regulations set by PCR inspection at the time of entry, self-isolation period, mask wearing obligation, etc., but most of the facilities such as museums will be closed, basically the state Unfortunately, it is unlikely that we will be able to do regular sightseeing for a while because we cannot move beyond that ...

We look forward to working with you again this year.

You can enter the shopping mall by wearing a mask, disinfecting, and measuring the temperature.
Until last week, Christmas decorations and lights remained.

The movie theater has also reopened. There is no ticket window, you can purchase tickets in advance using the app or purchase using the movie theater totem.
The world-famous BTS movie was also screened! Brazil has a core fan base, and it was a common sight to see groups dancing on Paulista Avenue in front of Corona.
I hope that the day will come when such a scene will be seen.

Negril is about an hour west of Montego Bay. Rix's Cafe, a restaurant with a white sand beach that stretches for about 11 km, Seven Mile Beach, and a diving platform to the highly transparent sea called the Blue Hole, is a popular tourist spot. It has a good reputation for the beauty of the setting sun. This is a recommended place for those who want to spend a quiet time.
