Holguín is strengthening the measures included in the protocol of confrontation, prevention and control against COVID-19 in the face of the threat of the Omicron variant, which has spread in more than 110 countries and it is estimated that the exponential increase in cases in the last week in Cuba is related to this disease.

The Entrepreneurs Forum began Thursday in the city of Holguín with the aim of promoting the linkage between the state sector and the new economic actors, one of the objectives of the Ordering Task in Cuba.

Tourist facilities in the province of Holguín strengthen epidemiological vigilance and compliance with the preventive protocol, given the appearance of the Omicron strain in the world, of which Cuba registered the first positive case of this variant the previous week, detected in the western region of the country.

Holguín has a vast mountainous area where endemism and protection are combined in projects carried out by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (CITMA), as part of the actions to mark the International Day of these ecosystems, celebrated every year on December 11 since 2002.
