You will need approved travel insurances if you go to Cuba

The Cuban government announced in March that all travellers arriving in Cuba from May 1 and beyond would be required to purchase Cuba health insurance.

The insurance policy should be purchased in the traveler’s home country but for those tourists arriving without proper coverage, they will be required to purchase an appropriate policy from a Cuban insurance company at the airport, port or marina where they arrive.
