The measures are not the most effective, for example Canada, has banned entry to travelers from endemic countries and no one who has traveled to these countries in the last 15 days can enter, and the cost to the economy will be greater if Omicron enters Cuba.

I am going from Canada and I would like to know how to make a reservation to spend 7 days in Havana in a private house or hostel that is open for tourists. I want to know if houses that offer rooms for tourists (homestays) are open
