During the meeting chaired by Ernesto Santiesteban Velázquez and Julio César Estupiñán Rodríguez, President and Vice President of the Provincial Defense Council (CDP) respectively, the situation presented by the 14 municipalities to the COVID-19 was checked on a video conference.
The heads of the CDP Group and Sub-group analyzed the problems of each territory, and then received instructions from the President of the CDP to solve them, in addition to insisting on the quality of the investigations, not only for COVID-19, but also for arbovirosis, since Holguín reports 55 blocks with the presence of the mosquito that transmits dengue fever.
Santiesteban Velázquez also advised the MDCs to increase the severity to achieve social isolation, fine people who do not use the masks in the street and clarified that the measures taken are not to bother people but to take care of their health and that of the people.
He gave the example of the creation in Banes and Holguín of groups with identification that organize the queues, together with the National Revolutionary Police and the administrations of the premises that sell food, and called for the adoption of other initiatives to maintain social distance.
It also called for greater efforts in food production and the adoption of the necessary measures to prevent diversions to other destinations.
Finally, he reiterated the need to work together under the direction of the Municipal Defense Councils to reduce errors, because in these times a failure can cause the death of a person, and that is not why we are in this battle. Life comes first.
