Cuba will lift its quarantine and re-open the country to tourism on Nov 15 after vaccinating most of its population with at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccination.
SOS Cuba groups are responding to this monumental day with protests against the Cuban government, asserting that it is the Cuban government to blame for the country's instability that was exacerbated during the pandemic.
