Havana will begin a partial reopening on Friday, Cuban Prime Minister Marrero Cruz announced in the country's capital Wednesday evening.
Cuba closed its borders in March, canceling all scheduled commercial flights to and from the island, and was subject to a strict ban after three Italian tourists were diagnosed with a coronavirus.
But recently she started to gradually ease the restrictions as the infections subsided.
The reopening in Havana will allow restaurants, bars and other businesses to reopen but with limited capacity, said the Prime Minister. Havana residents will also be able to visit the beach for the first time in almost three months.
However, international travel to and from most of Cuba will remain suspended.
The main island of Cuba, where Havana is located, remains closed to international tourists. Visitors can however go to five offshore islands, which the Cuban government has developed for tourism.
As of Wednesday, the country had recorded 86 deaths and 2,348 cases of coronavirus, according to Cuban health authorities.
