Children return to face-to-face classes in Cuba since the beginning of the pandemic | Video | CNN

The battle against COVID-19 in Cuba hit the island's tourist economy and closed schools.

Tight restrictions kept students at home throughout the pandemic.

Poor internet access meant that children were dependent on televised lessons.

In September, the island began vaccinating children in droves, including those as young as 2 years old, with domestically produced vaccines.

With the number of cases declining and confidence increasing, this November children returned to school for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
