2020. The new global scenario that configures the COVID-19 health crisis has forced governments in the region to take emergency measures in various areas. To visualize the current situation in the region, a table developed by ECLAC is used, which summarizes the set of measures taken by LAC countries to contain the spread of the virus and the measures to limit the economic impact of such decisions.
