The Cuban government will temporarily lift restrictions on the amount of food, medicine and hygiene products travelers can bring into the country, according to multiple reports.
Cuban Prime Minister Manuel Marrero made the announcement Wednesday evening on a Cuban television news program -
Mesa Redonda - the Miami Herald reports. The new rules will take effect starting Monday until the end of the year.
The decision seems to be an apparent concession to demands made by protesters who filled the streets of several Cuban cities over the weekend, according to Reuters.

Le gouvernement cubain a annoncé mercredi une première salve de mesures pour apaiser la population, en facilitant notamment l entrée sur l île d aliments et de médicaments, trois jours après des manifestations historiques dont il a reconnu devoir « tirer des enseignements ».
Les autorités ont décidé d
autoriser de façon exceptionnelle et temporaire l importation par les passagers, dans leurs valises, d aliments, produits d hygiène et médicaments, sans limites de valeur et sans taxes douanières, a déclaré le premier ministre Manuel Marrero à la télévision, où il est apparu accompagné du président Miguel Diaz-Canel et de plusieurs ministres.
Díaz-Canel, however, said that failings by the state played a role in the unrest.
“We have to gain experience from the disturbances, he said. “We also have to carry out a critical analysis of our problems in order to act and overcome, and avoid their repetition.”
In the protests, many Cubans expressed anger over long lines and shortages of food and medicines, as well as repeated electricity outages. Some demanded a faster pace of vaccination against the coronavirus. But there were also calls for political change in a country governed by the Communist Party for some six decades.
Police moved in and arrested dozens of protesters, sometimes violently, and the government has accused protesters of looting and vandalizing shops. Smaller protests continued Monday and officials reported at least one death. No incidents were reported Wednesday.
