‘Keep calm and carry on’: Cuba warns virus panic bad for immune system

The government has suspended large cultural and sporting events, and on Friday said it would start barring entry to tourists. But so far it has steered clear of ordering workers and students to remain at home.

“Closing the centers for work and teaching create a situation of tension and stress that is known to diminish the body’s immune system,” the Health Ministry’s epidemiology chief, Francisco Durán García, said on state-run TV this week. Cuba has also boasted that it produces a drug that helped curb the coronavirus outbreak in China, although some experts doubted whether it was effective as a mass treatment.

Others criticized the government for not barring entry to tourists earlier. Increased internet access on the island has generated more concern as citizens have been able to evaluate other countries’ approaches. While life in Havana has continued much as normal, some private business owners have chosen to suspend operations.

The president said Cuba could take “more severe” measures in coming days or even hours, depending on the spread of the virus. He also urged Cubans to practice better hygiene.
