As of 23:59 on November 10 Today's infection status 37 newly infected people, 466 currently positive people, 6831 recovered people, 130 dead people, 7429 infected people

It was announced that Jose Martí Havana International Airport will reopen at midnight on November 15th. Airports with other international flights have already reopened, but the reopening of the airport in Havana, the capital, will truly mean "unclosed borders" and will resume full-scale acceptance of foreign tourists.
All passengers arriving from overseas are obliged to perform a PCR test in addition to a health check such as body temperature measurement at the time of entry. The test results will be notified within 24 hours. The policy is to manage the health of tourists during their stay by making full use of Cuba's unique medical system.
It will be difficult to travel in exactly the same way as before, but the day when you can enjoy your trip to Cuba while taking preventive measures against corona infection is approaching little by little!

[Current status of security enhancement project "Seguranca Presente" in Rio]

The state of Rio is collaborating with private organizations to develop the "Seguranca Presente" project in 33 locations in the state with the aim of ensuring a safe living environment.
This project is carried out with the participation of off-duty military police officers, former military personnel, social workers, etc., and is active in the area where the project is being carried out, wearing a vest with the project name.
At this time, the activity hours of the major districts that the hotel is aware of are as follows.
○ Centro Daily 8 am-8pm ○ Lapa (Sun-Thursday) 7 pm-3pm, (Friday-Saturday) 9:30 pm-5:30am ○ Botafogo Daily 8 am-8pm Hours ○ Copacabana 8:00 am to 2:00 am every day ○ Ipanema 8:00 am to 8:00 pm every day ○ Lebron (Monday to Tuesday) 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, (Wednesday to Sunday) 8:00 am to midnight the next day

[From the Consulate of Rio de Janeiro]
(1) Although the above activity hours have been announced, it is not guaranteed that the activities will be carried out during that time period.
(2) It seems that this project has had a certain effect on maintaining the security of major tourist destinations, but it is most important to stay alert and vigilant on a regular basis.
(3) You need to be careful, especially when you go out early in the morning or at night.

In addition to preventing corona infections, we are strengthening public safety, ensuring the safety and security of everyone, and taking measures so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Paulista Avenue, the main street in São Paulo, the largest city in South America, is returning to what it was before Corona.
The shopping center is normally open on time, but temperature measurements and masks are required to get inside. The food court is marked to maintain social distance and is constantly disinfected and sterilized by cleaners.
Chain hamburgers are also popular in Brazil. Among them, the Paulista Avenue store is very popular and is one of the spots for Instagram.

Previously, Paulista Avenue was a pedestrian paradise on Sundays only, but is no longer blocked. The central cycling road is still available!

Hurricane Eta, which caused great damage to Central America such as Nicaragua and Honduras last week, became a tropical depression from the 7th to the 8th of the weekend and traversed the central region of Cuba. Despite weakening, some areas were hit by storms. Disaster prevention in Cuba takes thorough precautions. We will endeavor to minimize damage by evacuating dangerous areas and vulnerable people, suspending transportation, and closing schools in advance. As a result of taking such measures this time as well, although there were power outages and inundation damage, no human damage has occurred so far.
On the morning of the 8th, Eta, who passed through the northern coast of Cuba, changed course to the west and proceeded off the northern coast of Cuba, and continued to be vigilant on the 9th, but in Havana it is a relatively calm morning due to the sunlight.
Even so, this eta is zigzag wandering west to east and west again. There is something like this ...

There was a time when there were only a few flights a day in Corona, but now there are quite a few flights and it is steadily returning to the pre-Corona situation.
At check-in, we keep a social distance and pay attention to the safety of our customers.

[Long stay on the beach and permission of service]
On November 3rd, the Mayor of Rio officially allowed the beach to sell various services (alcoholic beverages / food / beach supplies, etc.) and allow visitors to stay longer.
It will be conditional on ensuring social distance, but I think this will bring back more vitality.

In addition, events, weddings, and showhouses are also permitted under the condition that the capacity is two-thirds of the normal capacity.

Rio de Janeiro is gradually returning to its original life.
It may not completely return to the situation before Corona, but we are moving forward step by step, praying for the end as soon as possible.

School was reopened in Havana on November 2nd. It's been 7 months since the school was closed on March 24th! At each school, sanitary facilities such as toilets and washrooms, cafeterias, etc. will be improved for reopening, and school life will be guaranteed according to new disciplines such as cleaning and disinfection. Students are instructed not only to wear masks, but also to bring replacement masks, soaps, disinfectants, towels, etc. to prevent infection.
I'm glad to see you again at school after a long time and with friends and teachers!

Domestic travel in Brazil is revitalizing little by little. Weekend trips to the suburbs are popular in São Paulo. This time, we would like to introduce Dona Carolina Farm.

A coffee-growing fazenda built by Donna Carolina and her husband in 1872.
An advanced abolitionist, Donna Carolina freed the slaves on the farm and gave them their land prior to the 1888 Emancipation Proclamation.
After her death, Fazenda, which inherited her will, was converted into a historic hotel that is generally liberated.

It is less than 2 hours drive from the city of São Paulo. It is a popular farm where you can enjoy horseback riding, interacting with livestock, fishing, canoeing, tennis, spa and swimming pool.

The number of infected people is increasing in the state of Pinares Rio, which is located in the westernmost part of Cuba, and the state has retreated to the restricted infection period and is again subject to restrictions on infection prevention measures.
On the other hand, the number of people infected with Havana has settled down to 0 to 1 digits, and most public facilities, government offices, restaurants and other social activities are reviving. People who go to the city also look the same as before Corona, except that they are wearing masks. However, there is no usual greeting of kissing, shaking hands, or hugging each other ...

On October 25th, an international flight with tourists arrived at Varadero International Airport for the first time in 7 months!
After undergoing a health check and PCR test at the airport, 241 passengers from the UK headed to two hotels on Varadero Beach to enjoy their vacation.
Several flights have been confirmed from France and other countries in November, and tourists from Europe, which is a leading market in Cuba's largest resort area, will be a clue to the recovery of tourism in the future! !!
