Havana, March 26 (RHC) In the struggle against COVID-19, Cuba continues to spread solidarity. On Wednesday, the first group of a Cuban medical brigade arrived in Belize.

Nurse Orlando Borrero, from the province of Santiago de Cuba, who participated in the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leone and was in two other missions in Nicaragua, told the Cuban News Agency that they will carry out a risky task, but will take all measures to take care of themselves to the maximum.
“We are aware that the current situation is difficult, but we are well prepared and ready to help save lives, which is the raison d'être of our profession,” he said.
