Ecuador had substantial COVID-19-mortality during 2020 despite early implementation of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). Resource-limited settings like have high proportions informal labour which entail human mobility, questioning efficacy NPIs. We performed a retrospective observational study in Ecuador's national reference laboratory for viral respiratory infections March 2020-February 2021 using stored specimens from 1950 patients, corresponding to 2.3% all samples analysed within...
On January 5 2021, Ecuadorian COVID-19 genomic surveillance program detected a suspicious case of the B.1.1.7 lineage (alpha variant) SARS-CoV-2 in Los Rios province, later confirmed by genome sequencing. The patient travelled from UK end December 2020. By contact tracing, several new cases were confirming transmission and spreading Ecuador.
Abstract Ecuador was an early COVID-19 hotspot with substantial COVID-19-mortality. In developed countries, low socioeconomic status is associated infection and compliance non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). However, if NPI were successful in resource-limited settings high human mobility informal labour still unclear. We performed a retrospective observational molecular serological study of Ecuador’s reference laboratory. tested 1,950 respiratory samples from surveillance for SARS-CoV-2...
