Dear readers:
The current situation caused by COVID-19 has had repercussions in every sphere in which human beings interact. It is alarming how the health crisis has triggered others and has exposed the most negative conducts of human nature: violence, bad habits, and the commercialization of basic goods at inhuman prices, social, food and health care inequalities.
Recently, new candidates for the treatment of COVID-19 have been developed. Cuba is one of the Latin American and Caribbean countries with the greatest advances in this field, with five vaccine candidates in different phases of clinical trials that have shown encouraging results.
