On June 18, 2020, the plan of measures approved by the Council of Ministers for the post-covid-19 recovery stage in Cuba began to be applied, gradually, in our province, conceived in 3 stages and each one consists of 3-phases.
For this, it was necessary to comply with the 5 indicators established by the health authorities, which are the rate of incidence, the reproductive index, the active cases, the number of positive cases with a known source of infection in the last 15 days and the local transmission events.
Of this plan of measures, we will mention only a few due to their importance, as there are around 500: for example, resuming restrictive measures if there is any regrowth or incidence, the use of the makswill not be eliminated, an element of protection that must be maintained, especially in public spaces, as well as the medical mask, keep frequent hand washing and other hygiene and disinfection recommendations.
Likewise, continue with active investigations, avoid outdoor activities with large concentrations of people, and crowds, especially in closed places, assume, as a rule, physical distancing, continue to protect health personnel.
As we can see, the so-called new normality is characterized by measures that must be kept to avoid a new outbreak.
Therefore, it would be more convenient to see this post-covid-19 stage as a continuity of the battle, and its highest stage would be victory, which will only be possible to achieve when we have a vaccine that offers protection and prevents the massive proliferation of the disease, that is, new outbreaks or epidemics.
We must implement other healthy lifestyles, not at all different, since they have already been promoted for a long time, in order to achieve quality of life and the best example is the decrease in the incidence of Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI).
Some say that people do not go to health services; the truth is that with the application of the implemented measures, people get sick less.
Before it was common that when a person had a cold, both co-workers and family members were infected, however, at this time, the use of the mask face and the restriction of attendance to the workplace, when suffering from an acute respiratory infection, in addition to orienting staying home cuts the epidemiological chain that causes transmission.
Let us act with discipline, and apply the preventive measures recommended by the Cuban Ministry of Public Health: frequently wash hands with 0.1% sodium hypochlorite or 70% hydroalcoholic solution, cover the mouth and nose when sneezing or cough always protecting yourself with a handkerchief or the inner corner of the arm, avoid kisses and hugs until you have the definitive protection.
