From October 1st, regulations for preventing corona infection in Havana have been relaxed. The main contents are as follows.
・ Lifting of the prohibition on going out from 7:00 pm to 5:00 am.
・ Lifting restrictions on the movement of private cars and motorcycles.
・ Lifting restrictions on mobile sales outside the district.
・ Lifting of prohibition on purchases outside the residential area.
・ Eliminate the shortening of store business hours and operate in normal hours.
-Resumption of public and private commercial and service activities with a capacity of 50%. Excludes privately-sponsored parties that can be in close contact with bars, discos, public and social distances.
・ Beach release. The pool is limited to 30% of capacity and reopened.
・ Resumption of public transportation. Operates from October 3rd with 80% standing boarding.

It is almost the same as when the regulations were first relaxed and moved to Phase 1 in July, but access to Havana from rural areas is still restricted, masks are not worn, lack of discipline in public places, and hoarding of goods. Strict fines will be imposed on resale.
The number of people infected with Havana has decreased to 10 people a day, so I hope that they will continue to calm down and gradually resume their social activities.

A national park in two mountains, the Blue Mountains and John Crow, in the southeastern part of the Jamaican island.
It is known as a gathering place for biodiversity in the Caribbean countries. It was registered as a World Heritage Site in 2015 as a complex heritage of nature and culture because it was once a refuge for the descendants (Maroon) of the fugitive slaves who were forcibly taken from Africa. Blue Mountain is also known for its suitable soil, wind and fog conditions for growing coffee beans. It is said that only the world-famous high-class Blue Mountain coffee, which has passed strict inspection, is exported overseas.

Hundreds of people, mainly Canadians, have visited resorts on remote islands, which were lifted in July. Not only the remote islands that are currently accepting tourists, but also the largest beach resort in Cuba, Varadero, and other airports and accommodation facilities, we have prepared a system that fully responds to infection prevention toward November when the Caribbean sea area reaches the tourist season. We are preparing to accept overseas tourists. However, the time to lift the airport closure and start normal international flights has not yet been reached.
