Havana all but shut down

[Jean-s]

The Cuban capital Havana was all but shut down on Tuesday night as the city was plunged back into a strict 15-day lockdown to combat a spike in Covid-19 cases, leaving shops shuttered and streets eerily deserted. The measures include a 7pm to 5am curfew, a ban on shopping outside of one's neighbourhood and limits on travel in and out of the city. For Havana’s residents, the restrictions mean buying supplies in a city often hit by shortages has become an even tougher task.

As is becoming obvious as time goes by, if you backslide on social distancing and wearing masks, you'll have to go back to square one.
