Following widespread anti-government protests last month, the Cuban government is now receiving unprecedented criticism from health-care workers who say officials botched the island's response to the pandemic.

, the Cuban government is now receiving unprecedented criticism from health-care workers who say officials botched the island's response to the pandemic.

During a visit in August to the hard-hit province of Cienfuegos, Prime Minister Manuel Marrero Cruz blamed health care workers' lack of discipline and "errors" for the breakdown in medical services. "We just ask that they tell the truth," said Dr. Rosell Alberteris, in a video posted online. "We only demand the supplies to treat our patients with dignity and decorum."

More Cuban doctors and nurses on social media from all over the island have expressed their support for the online protest, which is all the more remarkable as the Cuban government on Tuesday announced draconian new measures that prohibited "fake news" and postings that damage the island's "prestige."
