Deputy Prime Minister and Economy and Planning Minister Alejandro Gil noted on Thursday that Cuba will maintain the centralized economic planning, which he described as a strength of the system.

 

Cuba's new economic strategy to face today's global crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the tightening of the U.S. blockade, benefits the majority, Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel said.

 

With the good news that at the close of the day on Wednesday, Cuba did not report any patients in a serious or critical condition, the Minister of Public Health, José Angel Portal Miranda, updated the current situation of the country during the meeting of the temporary working group for the prevention and control of COVID-19, headed by President Miguel Díaz-Canel and Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz.

Biocon, India's largest biopharmaceutical company, highlighted on Wednesday the production of the drug Itolizumab, developed by the Cuban Center of Molecular Immunology to treat seriously ill Covid-19 patients.
