For Virgen, there is no better place than the Batey nursing home, where she has been for more than three decades. These days when a lethal disease shakes the world, she and her companions feel protected in this center, where all conditions are created for them.

"Amancio," Las Tunas.- Dr. Leydis Arias Gamboa, director of the social health institution, specifies that each older person has five masks to change them whenever necessary, the PrevengHo-Vir homeopathic medicine was administered to all of them; and three that suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (EPOC, in Spanish), are injected Biomodulin T to stimulate their defenses and protect them from COVID-19.

Arias Gamboa highlighted that they have created all the conditions with pandemic barriers, and the health status of each one of the workers is checked, in addition to having the necessary resources to care for the elderly population.

For his part, Francisco, from the Peraza nursing home, also in this southern town, confirms with healthy pride that he feels better here than at home, because the staff who work in the institution, in addition to providing services, offer them love.

Pacho, as his acquaintances call him, specifies “what more can we ask for, if we were even considered to be among the first to give us the medicine so that we do not get sick; where in the world is there so much concern for an old man? That is the work of the Revolution.”

Eutimia Paneque Delgado, head of the Nursing service at that facility, explains that they have reinforced measures to prevent the elderly from the contagion with the new coronavirus; among them, the entry of people to the center is limited, and the workers of each shift take their temperature upon arrival, to know their general condition.
