Cuba is relatively well-prepared for the new coronavirus infection (Corona19), thanks to its rich medical resources.

Cuban President Miguel Diascarne announced on Twitter on the 7th (local time) that "there were no deaths in a week (Corona 19)," and "the spread is under control in Cuba."

As of today, 2,191 people in Cuba have accumulated cumulative corona19 and 83 have died.

No more fatalities occurred in the week after one person died on the 30th of last month.

18 confirmed persons were added on the previous day.

Although there was a daily increase or decrease, the number of confirmed patients per day also decreased compared to April.

Although it has yet to declare victory in the fight against Corona 19, it is a relatively good defense in Latin America, which has become the center of the spread of Corona 19 around the world.

In Latin America, Venezuela and Nicaragua, Cuba's lefties, have raised doubts about the country's corona19 statistics, while voices of doubt are not raised.

The British Daily Guardian said, "Cuba is a model for a successful Corona 19 control program."

Cuba, which is highly dependent on tourism, started border control relatively late.

It is also difficult to find a mask to make in the face of economic difficulties.

Cuba's abundant medical staff is one of the main factors that led to Corona19.

Cuba is a well-known'doctor rich'.

According to World Bank statistics, Cuba has the highest number of physicians per 1,000 population (as of 2018), the highest in the world.

Medical spending relative to GDP is also the highest in Latin America.

A robust medical infrastructure shined in the midst of a health crisis.

According to the Guardian, the Cuban government has forced tens of thousands of family doctors, nurses and medical students to visit every family every day to check the condition of their residents.

Doctor Lis Cabayero visits 328 households with medical students from 8 am to 11 am every day.

He said, "Even during dengue fever, I visited every house like this, so it's not strange."

"The only country that approaches this way is Cuba in the Western Hemisphere," said William Riogrand, a professor at American University in the United States.

"In the absence of a vaccine, the only solution is to immediately identify and track and isolate the infection," he said. "Cuba's health system is well suited to carry out this strategy."

He was also thorough in controlling the infected.

Most countries in Central and South America lack hospital beds, so only severe patients can be admitted, but Cuba has received and treated all of the diagnoses in a national quarantine center.

This was also possible because of the large number of doctors.

The Cuban government has also shown'freedom' to dispatch medical staff to other countries suffering from a severe shortage of medical personnel.

Unlike other western countries, who were lukewarm in wearing masks, it was mandatory to wear masks early.

"The real success of Cuba has been to apply public health measures that scientists around the world have recognized are effective," said Gale Reed of the medical journal Medic Review.
