ESPINOSA BRITO, Alfredo Darío. Some statements on medical care in the "new normal" post-covid-19. Medisur [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.2, pp. 292-300.  Epub Apr 30, 2023. ISSN 1727-897X.

Due to the favorable prognoses in relation to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic in Cuba, a stage of "new normality" was announced, with a progressive "de-escalation" of measures that had been implemented to prevent the disease. This has been possible thanks to the joint efforts of the whole of society, with its highest authorities ahead, the capacity and dedication of health professionals organized in a vigorous national health system, obtaining and applying effective native drugs and the massive immunization against SARS-COV-2, with our Cuban Abdala and Soberanas vaccines. Comments are made on a group of lessons learned during the pandemic, on the existence of many doubts and questions still unanswered, on the new risks -especially for the most vulnerable- including the so-called post-COVID syndrome, when events are held more massive outbreaks of different kinds, as well as alerting to the frequent appearance of new coronavirus’ variants and recent "waves" of patients in different countries. The current situation of COVID-19 in Cuba and the suggested recommendations for this stage are briefly addressed.

Keywords : COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; pandemics; medical care.
