Cuba Starts Staggered Reopening Ahead of Tourist High Season

Cuba began its staggered reopening on 24SEP ahead of its upcoming tourism season despite some of the highest nationwide rates of infection per capita worldwide. As of 24SEP, restaurants, shopping centres, and beaches in Cuba’s provinces with lower COVID-19 cases will reopen, coinciding with preparations for the country’s tourist high season. The Cuban government already announced it will allow more flights and accept COVID-19 vaccination certificates for inbound travellers instead of a PCR test from NOV 2021. “In recent days we have determined the conditions are there to gradually reopen many of these in-person services,” said Interior Commerce Minister Betsy Diaz. Cuba has already vaccinated 86.5 % of the 2.2m inhabitants in Havana as it pushes to vaccinate more than 90 per cent of its entire population by mid-NOV.
