Taking into account the national, regional and international epidemiological situation and the need to apply new measures to contain the spread of COVID-19 cases in the country, with the aim of reducing the risks associated with international travelers, a group has been evaluated of measures related to International Health Control that will come into force as of July 15, 2021.
According to information from the Ministry of Public Health, the measures will be applied to Cuban travelers who arrive in the country through the airports of the tourist poles of Varadero (Juan Gualberto Gómez International Airport) and Cayo Coco (Jardines del Rey International Airport), maintaining the arrival of foreign tourists through those airports, without affecting the operation of the José Martí International Airport in Havana and the Antonio Maceo International Airport in Santiago de Cuba.
Main measures:
- Mandatory isolation of 14 night isolation is established in hotel facilities for the 100% of the Cuban travelers who arrive at the airports of Varadero and Cayo Coco.
- The amount of luggage to be brought into the hold is limited to one piece for Cuban travelers arriving through the Varadero and Cayo Coco airports.
At the same time, the mandatory screening of 100% of airport, transport and tourism workers’ personnel is established upon arrival and departure from the center where they work, including the systematic performance of antigen tests on workers with greater exposure.
The measure of not allowing the free movement of tourists outside the tourist poles of Varadero and Cayo Coco is maintained.
In the case of national and international travelers who arrive in the country through the rest of the Cuban airports, the International Sanitary Control protocol approved so far is maintained.
