Country Facts
- Ecuador has been one of the countries hardest-hit by COVID-19 in Latin America along with Brazil and Peru.
- Total population: 17 million people.
- In April 2020, Guayaquil, the economic hub of the country, reported more COVID-19 cases than entire countries in the region. This led to an oversaturation, and eventual collapse, of the public and private healthcare systems.
- Even before the pandemic, Guayaquil held the worst poverty rate in all of Ecuador at 11% of the population.
- The pandemic is exacerbating the situation for the most vulnerable communities in Guayaquil, including an estimated 10,000 Venezuelan migrants and refugees.
