1 As of 23:59 on February 5, today's infection status 68 newly infected persons (40 of whom are travelers from overseas including Cubans), 681 currently positive persons, 8782 total recoverers, 8782 total deaths 136 people, cumulative total of 8110 infected people

Last week, the spread of infection by returnees from overseas was noticeable. Currently, we do not have a quarantine policy at the time of entry, and we are waiting at the place of stay until a negative result is confirmed, but there are voices that it is better to review this.
When I looked into the old town of Havana and the restaurants that tourists often use, "partitions" for infection prevention measures were installed at each table.

As of 23:59 on November 26, Today's infection status 35 newly infected people (28 of whom are travelers from overseas, including Cubans), 450 currently positive, 7525 recoverers, 133 deaths Total number of infected people, 8110

Since the reopening of Habana Airport, I am worried that the number of new infections brought in from overseas has increased.
By the way, November is just around the corner, and Christmas is less than a month away. It is said that Cuba was a former Spanish colony and has many Catholics, but compared to other Latin American countries, it is less religious and it is hard to realize that Catholic customs are pervading our lives. There is none.
Christmas is not exciting as evidence ...
Recently, the decoration of hotels and restaurants has become more flashy for tourists, but it does not make you feel like Christmas. This year, when there are no tourists due to the influence of the corona, it is likely to be more lonely.
The photo stands out among the restaurants in Old Havana, with few shops still open.

Domestic trips to the suburbs are back in Brazil, but in São Paulo, the city's parks are a healing place for corona fatigue without having to go out.

Ibirapuera Park, designed by landscape architect Octávio Augusto Teixeira Mendes, was opened in 1954. Some call it an "oasis in the city of São Paulo," counting about 14 million users annually.
You can also see the architecture of the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer, which is one of the tourist attractions.

In addition to walking and running people, there are facilities such as basketball courts and futsal courts on the large site, and there are various ways to use them. There is also a large pond, which is a perfect place for photography!

Iguazu National Park welcomed 12,999 visitors from Saturday (October 31st) to Monday (November 2nd). It was expected to accept 10,000 people during the Obon holidays in Brazil. The number of visitors increased by 9% compared to the previous long vacation.

* Most of the tours, hotels and restaurants in Iguacu on the Brazilian side are open, but Puerto on the Argentine side. The border of Iguazu is still closed.

The Luminous Lagoon stretches along the Trelany Wetlands from Falmouth to the small village of Rock. Here you can see the millions of dinophyceae that inhabit, a rare and mysterious natural phenomenon in which the ocean glows blue with the light emitted by these microorganisms. This phenomenon seen in Jamaica is said to be the most widespread and beautiful of the same phenomena in the world. It is common to take a boat tour, such as a tour with transportation from Montego Bay.

As of 23:59 on November 19th Today's infection status 38 newly infected people (20 of whom are foreign travelers including Cubans), 363 people who are currently positive, 7267 people who have recovered, and 131 people who have died. Total number of infected people, 7763

The airport in Havana reopened on November 15th, and although the number of flights is still small, international flights are arriving in Havana. I haven't seen foreign tourists in Havana yet, but it seems that tourists spending time at all-inclusive hotels at beach resorts such as Varadero are gradually returning.
Meanwhile, I did an old city tour for the first time in a long time!
However, it is intended for people who are on the other side of the smartphone screen, assuming an online tour, not for customers. It was a trial tour to see how much we could do in Cuba, where the internet environment is bad.
As a result ... The connection was unexpectedly good, and I was able to watch the video almost without interruption after a short walk through the old town for an hour. In the future, there is a high possibility that an online tour from Cuba will be realized by recruiting customers!
