The installation of a molecular biology laboratory will make it possible to respond to the rapid treatment of those infected with COVID-19 in Isla de la Juventud, a territory with a complex epidemiological situation.
Israel Velázquez Batista, director of the Public Health Sector, commented that this work of national interest will join the network of laboratories in Cuba and will be equipped with state-of-the-art technology for in situ analysis of Polymerase Chain Reaction tests ( PCR for its acronym in English).
The doctor pointed out that they are currently working on changing the use of a premises, located in the Municipal Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology Center (CHEM), containing four departments: reception of samples, extraction, PCR and autoclave, which will save time waiting for the results.
He added that with the operation of the novel diagnostic system that enables the detection in 12 hours of positive cases to SARS-CoV-2, the cause of the pandemic, resources will be saved by concept of air transportation of the samples to the Institute of Tropical Medicine " Pedro Kourí ”(IPK). Precisely to the IPK, we will send a group of microbiology specialists and laboratory graduates to receive training there in matters of sample processing and biosafety protocols, commented the highest health authority in the territory.
This project prioritizes the hazardous waste evacuation system, for which a reinforced concrete septic tank is built adjusted to biosafety requirements, which will respond to the needs of the new work and the CHEM laboratory, where other pathologies are processed, clarified. The Municipal Defense Council in reduced composition insisted on the need to redouble efforts and work long hours to have the molecular biology laboratory in the shortest possible time, due to the health emergency caused by COVID-19, with an incidence rate of 143.75, the fourth highest in the country.
The local authorities indicated to establish the work contracts, ensure the quality of the execution, comply with the schedule and that the suppliers guarantee the resources in order to avoid interruptions or delays in the work rhythm.
Velázquez Batista, underlined the importance of this type of installation for the premises capable of processing some 450 samples in 12 hours.

He said that this will be the second laboratory of its kind in the special municipality, the first was built in Cayo Largo del Sur, in order to carry out epidemiological surveillance of foreign travelers who arrive at that pole, which reinforces the guarantee of Cuba as a destination safe tourist.
Cuba has in Osmar Garcés Velázquez another peasant who, from Isla de la Juventud, is committed to the development of mini-industries from heat treatment to ecological products with a view to territorial self-sufficiency.
This option enables the processing of those crops that, due to their size or state of maturity, cannot be marketed as fresh products and can be marketed after pickling, thanks to the inputs guaranteed by the Local Agricultural Innovation Program (PIAL), he explained to the Cuban News Agency.
He commented that the place where the premises of the mini-industry will be built on the "La Reina" farm is already microlocated. Each assortment must adhere to the manufacturing standards to preserve food safety, in addition to sending witness samples to experts, in accordance with the requirements of the health system.
This project, coordinated by the local university, will benefit three women -from the rural area of the town of La Fe- in charge of preparing, processing, packaging, sealing and labeling the finished product to deliver it to the point of sale of the Credit and Services Cooperative ( CCS) Ovido Pantoja, referred.
He pointed out that the commercial seal is registered and endorsed by the territorial delegation of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment and includes in the inscription the date of elaboration and expiration of the food, type of product, the name and address of the farm in case request or claim.
In aseptic bags, the pickles go on sale with a permit issued by the Department of Hygiene, Epidemiology and Microbiology of the La Fe public health area, which certifies the commercial sterility of pickled vegetables and processed as puree or sauce, he said.
He added that 90 percent of the products come from the farm's harvest peaks, but it is expected, when the current campaign concludes, to dedicate an area of that possession in usufruct to the planting of vegetables for manufacturing, to that does not compete with the productions contracted with the CCS.
The supply of pickles from the cultivation of vegetables and vegetables with biological products is a guarantee for the consumer, who can purchase 400 or 500 grams of the assortment at 14 or 15 pesos, depending on the type and cost of production, specified Garcés Velázquez, who together with his family work the land.
Although in Cuba it is a tradition for peasants to convert surplus harvests into artisanal productions, today it becomes an alternative that -under the protection of Resolution No. 247/2020, alluding to the bonus in the payment of the tax on sales of a five percent - encourages this type of small-scale production.
This experience is also supported by the comprehensive development program of the special municipality, which prioritizes food production among its objectives.
Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz called today to strengthen the business structure in Isla de la Juventud, during a working visit to this territory led by Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, President of the Republic of Cuba.
Marrero Cruz pointed out that in the heat of the monetary order, the state sector - the main actor in the economy - must internalize its role in the consolidation of the Development Program in the special municipality, whose update must correspond to the Economic-Social Strategy for 2030 .

Meisi Bolaños Weiss, Minister of Finance and Prices, specified that the delegation of faculty implies greater responsibility in the management of this process that cannot be arbitrary but rather the result of the application of methodologies in which quality and efficiency are decisive, for that is important the preparation of the pictures, he insisted.
