DEATHS AND DESPERATION MOUNT IN ECUADOR, EPICENTER OF CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IN LATIN AMERICA

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Dead bodies are lying at home and in the streets of Guayaquil, Ecuador, a city so hard-hit by coronavirus that overfilled hospitals are turning away even very ill patients and funeral homes are unavailable for burial. Data on deaths and infections is incomplete in Ecuador, as it is across the region. As of April 22, Ecuador – a country of 17 million people – had reported almost 11,000 cases, which on a per capita basis would put it behind only Panama in Latin America. But the true number is likely much higher.
