Cuba announces dispatch of medical specialists to Mexico

Cuba announced on Tuesday they will dispatch medical specialists to Mexico as part of an island strategy to support other nations to face the new coronavirus, and at a time when regional health authorities warn that Latin America is still a few weeks away from seeing spikes.

The island's director of epidemiology, Francisco Durán, said that "10 health collaborators" traveled to Mexico, but without specifying the exact destination of these or their specialties. The announcement came a day after the Mexican president said they were in talks, although he would only ask for Cuban support . . .
