Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly advises against travelling to Cuba

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly advises against trips to Cuba, including for tourism purposes, because of the crisis situation in the country, BTA reports. It is recalled that the risk index for travelling to Cuba is at level 4 and means a warning to stop travelling to the country except in cases of extreme necessity.

The reason is the deepening energy crisis in Cuba, the lack of fuel and full-scale power outages, as well as problems in medical care, urban and intercity transport, the increased crime factor and the lack of essential medicines, goods and services. The Foreign Ministry warns that the options for leaving the island are increasingly limited and the number of international flights from Havana and other Cuban cities has already been greatly reduced due to the shortage of aviation fuel.
