1.Currently, in Cuba, due to the impact of Hurricane “Rafael,” which occurred on November 6, and the earthquake in Granma Province on November 10, there are widespread power outages, water shortages, and shortages of food and fuel across the country, which may persist for an extended period. In such a situation, a deterioration of public safety is also a concern.
2.In fact, on the night of November 11, a Japanese man walking in Old Havana was the victim of a robbery, where two individuals approached him from behind, held him in a chokehold, and forcibly stole his bag.
3.If travel to Cuba is necessary, please ensure you fully check the latest information on natural disasters, public safety, riots, and other current conditions before making any travel decisions. While in Cuba, please exercise caution and follow the recommendations below:
