Havana, July 1 (RHC)-- Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel greeted the arrival of the brigade of health collaborators that was fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic in the Principality of Andorra.

"Welcome to the Homeland," wrote the president on the social network Twitter, where he shared his happiness at the reception of these members of the Henry Reeve Contingent, who worked for three months in that nation on the European continent.

The day before, Andorran Health Minister Joan Martínez Benazet praised the work of the Cuban medical specialists, saying it had been a luxury to have them fighting side by side against the new coronavirus.

In saying goodbye to the Caribbean health professionals, the health chief thanked them and said that they are now "Andorra's sister brigade."

Meanwhile, the head of this group, Luis Enrique Pérez, highlighted the results achieved during the three months of work in the European country.  Pérez stressed that the 39 Cuban professionals contributed to breaking the curve of SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus infections and helped to improve the epidemiological indicators.
