As of 23:59 on October 15 Today's infection status 56 newly infected people, 290 currently positive people, 5702 people who recovered, 124 people who died, 6118 people who were infected

Of the newly infected people, 10 are returnees from overseas, and 46 are domestically infected, which is a little high in the past week, but the number of recoverers exceeds the number of newly infected people. Overall, it continues to decline.
From October 19th next week, transportation between the regions, which had been suspended, will start, and it will be possible to travel from Havana across states. There is a concern that people's movements will become more active and lead to the spread of infection again, but this is also a step toward a "new daily life", and each person wants to be careful enough to connect to the post-corona. ..
Expectations for sightseeing in Varadero, Cuba's largest resort area, which started yesterday!

On October 12, Cuba's measures against corona entered a new phase.
Sancti Spiritus and Ciego de Avila continue to have a limited duration of infection.
Havana is convalescent from infectious diseases Phase 3: Service, near normalization of production activities, maximum consideration of infection risk, and act according to each preventive measure to reduce infection.
Areas other than the above three states have adopted new daily lifestyles: service, recovery and stability of production activities. Strengthen infectious disease monitoring, comply with and control hygiene measures, and maintain health at your own risk.
This will resume many public and economic activities in Havana. However, as announced in advance, the reopening of the school will continue on November 2, and the closure of Havana International Airport will continue and the reopening is undecided.

Iguazu will welcome more than 11,000 visitors on the 10th-12th holidays of this month.
38% of hotel rooms in the city are booked. About 85% last year, I'm sorry, but I think it will get better and better.
