Lima, June 14 (RHC)-- The Vice President of the Federation of Journalists of Peru, Ricardo Sanchez Serra, described as "magnificent news" that Cuba has managed to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

"It is magnificent news that a Latin American country like Cuba is in a position to gradually return to normal after the pandemic," Sanchez Serra told Prensa Latina.  He said that such an achievement is due to a number of factors such as the great advances in Cuba's medical science and its contributions to pharmaceuticals such as Interferon Alpha 2b and biotechnology, as well as its remarkable health system.

The journalist also highlighted the epidemiological surveillance that the island carried out from the beginning, with the detection of cases and their isolation, and the house-to-house investigations that the Cuban medical brigade applies in the Peruvian regions of Arequipa, Moquegua, Ancash and Ayacucho.

He distinguished this early reaction by Cuba from the attitude of other nations that believed that COVID-19 would only affect China or that "it was very far away and would not arrive or that with the advances of science it would be quickly extinquished."

There is a popular saying that "overconfidence is the mother of carelessness," so now many countries have suffered catastrophically from the ravages of the pandemic and are paying for it with many human lives and great deterioration of the economy, he said.
