Mayabeque, Cuba: After the outbreak of Covid-19 in Cuba, the province of Mayabeque frequently reports patients under one year age and children infected with the disease.
Taking into account the increase in positive cases in pediatric age, it is necessary to increase the perception of risk and maintain a responsible attitude in the care of this population group.
The Institutional Communicator of Public Health in Mayabeque, René Rodríguez -Feo Cou, said that although the World Health Organization does not recommend the permanent use of the mask face at early ages, it is essential to incorporate them at certain times and scenarios.
The specialist added that at home, physical distancing with the child and her personal belongings should be reinforced, that is, limiting the access of only parents to them.
Given the increase in the province of positive cases to Covid-19 in infants and children, the Provincial Defense Council insists on compliance with hygienic-sanitary measures by the population.
