President Miguel Diaz-Canel said this weekend that the country will soon begin “recovery” from the epidemic.
He said: “We could be shortly closing in on the tail end of the pandemic and entering the phase of recovery from COVID.”
Reina Paula, a saleswoman at Havana’s La Epoca supermarket, told Reuters that the same day that a worker tested positive for the coronavirus, local authorities sent the rest of the staff in multiple state vehicles to isolation facilities for testing.
Healthcare providers traced their relatives and sent them into quarantine, while state news outlets publicly appealed to anyone who had had close contact with them to come forward to prevent the virus from spreading.
She said to Reuters: “They followed the clinical steps like a Swiss clock.”

Monday also marks the ninth day straight where Cuba has reported no new deaths from coronavirus.
Similar to many other countries, Cuba entered lockdown early onto the pandemic on March 23.
Where Cuba’s approach differs from other countries is their obligatory face mask orders, and strict quarantine orders.
In addition, the country has been strong on its legal implications for breaking measures, with heavy fines and prison sentences being ordered and trials for these crimes being broadcast on state media outlets.

The country’s success comes after New Zealand has reported zero active cases of coronavirus on Sunday.
The country has lifted all restrictions and measures related to COVID-19, but has kept its borders closed for the foreseeable future.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said: “While we’re in a safer, stronger position, there’s still no easy path back to pre-Covid life, but the determination and focus we have had on our health response will now be vested in our economic rebuild.
“While the job is not done, there is no denying this is a milestone.
“So can I finish with a very simple, ‘Thank you, New Zealand’.”
