Confinamiento y progresión de casos Covid-19 en Ecuador y Latinoamérica primer semestre del año 2020

Abstract

The SARS-CoV-2 virus has challenged the health systems of the Latin American continent causing a health, economic and social phenomenon. The efficiency with which it spreads throughout Latin America, infecting the population, suggests that it is much more difficult to contain. This situation pushes to the adoption of radical measures that generate a massive population and epidemiological impact such as confinement, a social, economic and sanitary measure that is conceptualized as the most radical strategy to slow down the massive contagion and flatten the epidemic curve, but this measure has great implications in the reality of the population.
