Cuba Reintroduces Face Mask Wearing

The Cuban government has reintroduced face masks on public transport and in medical settings, as well as for people with respiratory symptoms as cases continue to rise.

Cuba opened fully to tourism on 15 November 2021 and all airports are open again for commercial and charter flights, but with reduced frequency.

On 19 July 2022, the Cuban government made face masks "mandatory" again on public transport and in healthcare settings and medical facilities, as well as for people with respiratory symptoms. Using face masks in all other settings is "recommended".

"Visitors are allowed to hire cars but should check with the hire companies if they are open and have cars available, and where you can drive to under current COVID-19 measures, before making plans."
