Around 18 thousand users have access, from their homes, to the products and services of the Electronics and Computer Science Joven Clubs (JCCE) in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a service that started last year as a result of Resolutions 98 and 99 from the Ministry of Communications, which, by the name of TinoRed, allows teenagers and young people to interact through a wireless network, according to Daylin Perez de la Rosa and Claudia Entenza Crespo, who are both specialists from the Institutional Communication Office of JCCE.

Only in Havana, more than 11 700 users interact through those wireless networks, they remarked.

The Electronics and Computer Science Joven Clubs closed their facilities to avoid the contagion and spread of the new coronavirus.

The Central Palace of Computer Science, which is the flagship of the Electronics, Computer Science and Communication Worker's Union, has increased the access to several products through TinoRed. Some of those products are the Cuban Cooperative Encyclopedia EcuRed (www.ecured.cu), the Cultural Product named Mochila (mochila.cubava.cu), the platform for digital journals Estanquillo (estanquillo.cubava.cu), the Reflejos blogosphere (cubava.cu) and the video-gaming portal LUDOX (ludox.cubava.cu).

JCCE workers constantly update the products and services that they offer to users because of TinoRed's high demand. There are several audiovisuals with weekly updates of Cuban and international films, TV series, documentary films, cartoons for children, courses, and digital lessons that are broadcast through their respective educational TV channels and there's also an especial folder dedicated to COVID-19.

Also, according to both specialists, many workers, from their homes, continue to prove their commitment with their daily work to keep users connected and informed.

They are setting an example with the creation of content in social networks, both in personal and institutional profiles, such content is linked the work they do, the tribute paid every day to health sector workers who are fighting the pandemic, the impact of the economic blockade and the legacy of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution Fidel Castro Ruz.

Several contests have been launched for Cuban families on social media; an example is that of Labor Day from our homes, on the Facebook page of the Provincial Office of Pinar del Rio; or in Las Tunas, from home, letter for Cuba, which have been announced in provincial TV and Radio.

In Guantanamo, which was the best province in this organization last year, the facilities are being looked after to stop the propagation of COVID-19, but that has not prevented the embellishment of all its 30 facilities from continuing, even when many of those are located in the mountains.

That eastern province also has a direct delegate to the Second Conference of the Electronics, Informatics, and Communications Union, her name is Deyanelis Terry Ortiz and she is the secretary-general of the union section of the El Salvador mountainous unit.
