Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel toured a military unit producing and transporting sparse oxygen to COVID-19 patients, state-run media reported on Tuesday.

Some residents and medical staff have taken to social media complaining of treatment in a land that prides itself on the quality of its free health system.
