M= any of the doctors are Cuban, and they walk around the neighborhoods every = day in their white coats and masks. The health personnel who go out every m= orning to tour the neighborhood from the CDI are accompanied by an individu= al belonging to one of the popular forms of organization that exist in the = neighborhood, such as communal councils, communes, local supply and product= ion committees.The house-to-house system has been successful in Venezuela.I= ts implementation has made it possible to launch an offensive against the c= oronavirus, conducting a search of every home to detect it early and avoid = complications in patients, breaking the chains of transmission, and prevent= ing its proliferation.=20 =20 =C2=A0=20 =20 Cuba TeleSur: U.S. Blockade Prevents Swiss Aid to Cuba Swedish banks interrupte= d the transactions to Cuba due to the U.S. restrictive policies.
