Havana, Cuba: Cuba today prioritizes the control of the incidence rate of Covid-19 in the center of the country, while facing a complex meteorological situation in the west due to the near passage of Hurricane Delta, Prensa Latina publishes.
According to the Ministry of Public Health, Sancti Spíritus, with a growing epidemiological difficulty, maintains three areas in quarantine and 81 areas with movement restriction measures.
That central province reports 130 cases in the last 15 days, so the national government recently returned it to the phase of limited autochthonous transmission.
For its part, Ciego de Ávila (center) has recorded 567 positive cases in its 10 municipalities since last July and still maintains the highest incidence rate in the country in the last fifteen days.
The governor of that province, Tomás Alexis Martín Venegas, assured that in recent days there has been a decrease in positive diagnoses that in turn reflects a greater epidemiological control in that territory.
Havana today reports three active local transmission events and an incidence rate of 13.11 per 100,000 inhabitants in the last two weeks.
According to the local governor, Reinaldo García, these data show a greater control of Covid-19 in the capital where the phase of indigenous transmission is maintained limited with flexibility measures.
On the other hand, the western provinces of Pinar del Río, Artemisa and the Isla de la Juventud Special Municipality began this day in a cyclonic alarm phase due to the proximity of Hurricane Delta.
The Forecast Center of the Institute of Meteorology reported that favorable conditions are maintained for Delta to continue strengthening in its movement to the northwest, this time with a course further away from Cuban territory.
Isla de la Juventud evacuated more than four thousand citizens the day before before the deterioration of the hydro-meteorological conditions.
Pinar del Río concentrated its efforts on evacuating people living in vulnerable areas, as well as on protecting economic resources.
The Provincial Defense Council pays special attention to possible floods and prepares to recover the affected crops.
In this context, the Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, called on the authorities of the territories to act accordingly with the meteorological situation that the nation is going through, in the midst of the confrontation with Covid-19.
