Beirut, August 26, 2020. Lebanese press and television media today highlighted Cuba's vanguard position in the fight against Covid-19.
The television station Al Mayadeen and the newspaper Al Akhbar reported on the development of the Cuban vaccine, Soberana 01, to combat the pandemic that today affects all of humanity. They also recognized the solidarity work of the Greater Antilles by sending medical brigades to various countries in the world to fight against Covid 19, despite the economic difficulties due to the intensification of the blockade and the hostility of the United States government against the island.
