This is the sixth medical brigade Cuba has sent in recent days to combat the spread of the new disease abroad. "He who says he is not afraid is a superhero, but we are not superheroes, we are revolutionary doctors." Its death toll rose on Saturday by 546 to 3,095, according to its head of welfare, Giulio Gallera, who requested the Cuban doctors. "In a time of crisis, the Cuban government, the Cuban people ... have risen to the occasion, they have heard our appeal and they have responded," Jamaican Health Minister Christopher Tufton said on Saturday upon greeting 140 Cuban medical professionals at Kingston international airport. Thousands of doctors and medicine students are also going door-to-door monitoring their local communities.
