The Cuban capital, always crowded with nationals and foreign tourists who visit it, is now almost deserted every night, due to the isolation measures adopted in the country to prevent the spread of Covid-19, the most terrible pandemic that humanity has ever  suffered. Precisely at this time, after 90 days, Havana is one of the cities in the country that still report positive cases of Covid-19 infections, which is why hygiene and sanitary measures are increased and strengthened. Every day, thousands of doctors, nurses and health students visit the houses of the population throughout the country to carry out the screening in order to detect any citizen with any symptoms and, in this way, prevent a possible contagion in time. Likewise, Prevengho Vir, a homeopathic medicine that is used to prevent influenza, flu diseases and other emerging viral infections, continues to be distributed free of charge. Social isolation measures, the limitation of public transport, remote work, primary, secondary and high school classes through television, the suspension of multiple activities and cultural shows, scientific meetings and all are also maintained mostly online. In addition to this, every night the main streets of the capital, hospital centers and other places where people usually gather are being "blessed" by the disinfection that is carried out, with the help of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, with chlorinated and soapy water poured by tank cars that invade the city. In essence, despite the country having managed to significantly reduce the contagion and for 9 days without deaths of patients, it continues to work hard to overcome the crisis of the new coronavirus that has claimed the lives of more than 400 thousand people worldwide, while the number of infected already exceeds 7 million. It is important to remember that the most effective measure against Covid-19 is, without a doubt, social isolation and protection. For this reason, it must be repeated without rest that staying at home is the best way to preserve life and overcome the epidemic crisis.
