ABSTRACT
Focused on the field of hypermedia journalism due to its possibilities of monitoring through teleworking, and because of the emphasis that the country is placing on the increasing use of ICTs, a team of researchers with diverse profiles, with representation in all regions of Cuba, identified 35 experiences of hypermedia journalism published in the Cuban public media until June 5th, 2020. From this sample, 20 proposals were selected using the nominal group technique in virtual variant, to which a more detailed analysis was carried out, based on 13 criteria identified among the international recommendations for dealing with the pandemic in the press. Both the analysis of the sample, as well as a discussion forum held with journalists from all over the archipelago from the publication of the report resulting from this research, yielded interesting guidelines about the positive communicative practices detected, potentially applicable in the productive dynamics of Cuban public media. © 2022, Centro Nacional de Informacion de Ciencias Medicas.

ABSTRACT
The fast spread of SARS-CoV-2 has posed big challenges, some of which are related to information management and visibility. Professionals from information institutions have been faced with having to reorganize their services in a short time, with an essential technological component to achieve virtuality in face of the unavoidable imperative of physical distancing. The National Medical Sciences Information Center (CNICM/Infomed) plays a fundamental role in the response plan implemented by Cuba during this health crisis, serving as facilitator and provider of specialized scientific information services, sources and tools, and supplying the required technological platform for the entire national health system and the population. The present document is aimed at describing the workflow devised by this institution, the spaces and modes used for the production and dissemination of scientific information during the epidemic, and the contributions made to the creation of products and the development and implementation of tools and services to support health scientific research and decision making during the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2020, Centro Nacional de Informacion de Ciencias Medicas.
