The travelers will be able to continue to their accommodation where they must wait for the result, complying with all the recommendations to avoid a possible spread. The result will be ready from 24 hours to 48 hours later.

From December 1st. a health fee will be charged, in order to cover the costs of the implemented protocols. This health fee will never be paid directly by the client upon arrival in Cuba, it is included in the air ticket.

The result will be available in the first 24 hours so the client will be located and informed immediately through the tourist and health authorities.

Symptomatic clients will be transferred to a care unit, understood to be a hospital, equipped with highly qualified personnel and the necessary equipment to guarantee their speedy recovery.

Asymptomatic clients: After the evaluation by the doctors, we proceed to a total isolation but admitted to Hotels that we will turn into Hospital. The contacts of these cases are immediately isolated in the tourist facilities themselves under a regime of surveillance and protection. (They cannot be in contact with the rest of the clients), until the result of the second PCR is obtained, which is on the 5th day.

The costs of medical services will obviously be covered by the client’s insurance.
