The lot represents 1% of the total pact in November with Russia by a delegation from the Caribbean country during a visit to Moscow.
Maduro says that the health care staff will be evacuated as a matter of priority, but also activists from his political party: Somos Venezuela.

Ni Caracas ni Moscú han precisead cuándo llegará el proximo lote.
In addition to the 10 million agreed-upon doses with Russia, Venezuela has between 1.4 and 2.4 million AstraZeneca vacancies through the Covax World Health Organization (OMS) system.
Without embarrassment, these doses have not been read to Venezuela, since the country did not pay its debt to the OMS, said Alena Douhan, special spokesman for the UN to evaluate the impact of sanctions on human rights. The first place to pay came on March.
Maduro’s governor has limited his access to state accounts in the foreign country, with blocked funds with control over the leader Juan Guaidó, reconvened as President of Venezuela by the United States and mid-century peace.
With 30 million inhabitants, Venezuela has 132,259 confirmation purposes and 1,267 covid-19 walls, according to official figures, questions or organizations like Human Rights Watch.
