Abstract

The chapter delves into Havana's response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, beginning with an introduction to the city's geography, population, and healthcare infrastructure. It then outlines the timeline of Havana's COVID-19 response, from the initial informational campaigns and biosecurity measures to the development of vaccines and the implementation of lockdowns. Notably, the city's response was characterized by a strong emphasis on scientific research and the integration of various sectors of society. The chapter also explores the demographic groups most affected by the pandemic, the role of media in disseminating information, and the unintended consequences of lockdowns, such as increases in domestic violence and mental health issues. Additionally, it discusses the economic impacts of the pandemic on Cuba's open economy and the measures taken to protect workers. Throughout, the chapter highlights Havana's successful development of vaccines and the importance of a systems approach in managing the pandemic.
