The Canadian government has updated its travel advisory for Cuba, warning Canadians to avoid non-essential travel to the island nation that is facing escalating shortages of goods.
“Avoid non-essential travel to Cuba due to worsening shortages of fuel, electricity, and basic necessities including food, water, and medicine, which can also affect resorts,” Ottawa said in a Feb. 12 advisory.
