HAVANA - In the face of global panic over the coronavirus pandemic, Cuba’s government has urged calm, saying stress weakens the immune system, and the Communist-run country has taken fewer measures than Caribbean neighbors as it trusts the strength of its medical system.
With the world’s highest ratios of physicians to population, according to the World Bank, Cuba has tens of thousands of doctors as well as medicine students going door to door to monitor local communities. Cuba has the “manpower, the drugs, and a proven and effective approach to face health challenges”, Cuba’s Foreign Ministry’s General Director for U.S. Affairs Carlos Fernandez de Cossio tweeted.
“They should close the borders already because cases are coming from abroad,” said Luis Rodriguez, 48, who drives a “coco taxi” - a three-wheeled scooter under an egg-shaped booth - in Havana. “It will be difficult because we live from tourism but health comes first.”
