That is why at the end of a bad year and starting another similar one, I am pleased to believe that when days go by, COVID-19 not only  leaves us a negative impact. In this pandemic year, the virus has also brought good things.

During the last days (February 26 - March 4), the Artemisa province does not report any imported cases.
