Cuba's two pandemics: The coronavirus and the US embargo
As soon as the first cases of COVID-19 were detected in Cuba, our country mobilised all its resources to contain the spread of the virus. Our healthcare workers go door to door checking people for possible symptoms.

The medical examinations and treatments are all provided free of charge. As of June 20, 85 people have died of COVID-19 in Cuba.
