Hospitalization capabilities increase in Havana
Havana, Apr 23 (Prensa Latina) The authorities of Havana and those of the Ministry of Public Health are working together to create new hospitalization capabilities in the face of the increase in Covid-19 cases.
During the meeting of the temporary working group in the fight against the pandemic, Havana s Governor Reinaldo Garcia reported about two hospitals that are added to the 14 already existing where the highest-risk patients are currently being treated.
The incorporation of these care centers, one dedicated to minors and another to adults, raises the total number of beds above 3,200, Garcia stated in the presence of Prime Minister Manuel Marrero and the Vice President of the Republic Salvador Valdes.
Raul Castro has formally handed over the reins of Cuba’s Communist Party after decades as its first secretary, stepping down Friday during the first day of the party’s eighth congress.
The changing of the guard in the country’s most powerful institution represents a shift from the revolutionary leadership of the Castro era to a new generation. It also comes at a time when the country’s economy is struggling and in urgent need of reform.
Cuba’s economy shrank by 11 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to government figures, and travel restrictions hit the island’s tourism sector and the foreign currency it brings in particularly hard.
