Raciality, identity and the concept of Cubanness were fundamental ingredients in the conversation held at Casa Madiba, between historians and an audience made up, mostly, of young people from various educational institutions and political organizations. 

Unusual Three kings days

Generally I appeal to the remembrances of old customs. Such is the case of Three Kings Day, about which I propose two unusual abstractions around Melchor, Gaspar and Baltazar, the camels and gifts.

May is about to become the month with the highest incidence of COVID-19 in Camagüey. And just in the third week of the year with more reports of positive cases, the presence of the South African strain was known in samples previously sent for this specific analysis that is only carried out at the Pedro Kourí Institute of Tropical Medicine. The authorities insist that, although this is more contagious, for any of the variants the measures are the same: physical distancing and increasing hygiene.

More than 900 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) tests for the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients are processed daily at the Camagüey Molecular Biology Laboratory. After the arrival of new equipment, its workers have managed to double the number of analyzes every 24 hours in just over a week.
