Message to U.S. Citizens – Ecuador Updates Entry Requirements (December 30, 2020) 

 

On December 23, the Government of Ecuador announced updates to its entry requirements to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.  These entry requirements are in effect during the state of emergency announced December 21, 2020.  Updated requirements to enter Ecuador include: 

 

• All travelers (including minors) arriving in Ecuador must provide proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken no more than ten (10) days before entering the country.  Note that airlines may deny boarding to travelers who do not present proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test.  Upon arrival in Ecuador, travelers who do not have COVID-19 symptoms are not required to quarantine. 

   

    (See our webpage for special rules for the Galapagos Islands). There are no exemptions from the negative PCR test requirement during the state of emergency. 

 

• Travelers who arrive in Ecuador without proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test must take, at their own expense, a COVID-19 PCR or rapid antigen test upon arrival.  The traveler must then quarantine for ten (10) days. 

   

   Residents of Ecuador may quarantine at the address they declare upon entry.  Non-residents must quarantine at accommodations approved by the Ministries of Tourism and Government.  If the traveler receives a negative test result (COVID-19 PCR or rapid antigen), the traveler must still isolate for five (5) days.   

 

• A traveler who presents symptoms of COVID-19 upon arrival in Ecuador is required to perform a PCR or rapid antigen test (possibly at their own expense) and proceed to quarantine even if the traveler presents a negative COVID-19 PCR test at the airport of entry. 

 

• Regardless of whether a negative COVID-19 PCR test is provided, random rapid antigen testing may be conducted at the airport and upon arrival.  If the rapid antigen test is positive, the traveler must isolate for ten (10) days.  Travelers under the age of fourteen (14) are exempt from the rapid antigen test requirement. 

 

Please note procedures may change at any time.  We recommend contacting the Ecuadorian embassy or consulate nearest you before traveling for the most updated information at https://www.cancilleria.gob.ec/estados-unidos/. 

 

We also encourage you to visit our COVID-19 webpage and the Government of Ecuador’s webpage for the latest information on COVID-19 in Ecuador.  - https://ec.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information-ecu-2/

Alternatives to FB, other alternative social media platforms MON 26 OCT 20/20

 All of my pc's tablet, and smartphone are 10 x's faster than 2 weeks ago since I have been off of FB- 

--------------------------------

"Freaky Frank" - aka FaceBook - 3 min video / humorous take on FaceBook's trackers.

- Consider deleting FB (not suspending, but the one that takes a couple weeks for them to release you).

- Don't use the convenience buttons "Log in with your FB / T / Pinterest / Google acct" >> that starts the trackers

- De-google your life with Brave browser or Gab's Dissenter for laptops.

- Close the tabs when you leave a site

Event Horizon Chronicle: The Semi-Calm Before The Storm and (The Ecuador Report)

 👹PLANNED STREET PROTESTS👺 by the Ecuador Indigenous populations STARTING TOMORROW -

... A visit and replay of last October 2019 11 Days of Riots.

PROTEST MOBILIZATIONS TOMORROW OCT 22, 20/20-

The health, economic and social crisis that the country is experiencing has led to that the National Government adopt a series of actions and policies that have been rejected by social, trade union, indigenous organizations, considered unpopular. 😦

These organizations declared October as THE MONTH OF THE
RESISTANCE AND POPULAR STRUGGLE for which, they called a * new national day of mobilizations for the 22/2020 * protests in
those that antagonistic groups such as the Proletarian Bloc would participate, Antifascist Action, 

👧🏻👨🏼‍🎤👩🏼‍🎤Guevarista Youth among others, whose purpose will be
take advantage of these protests to generate violent actions against
National Police. 👮🏼‍♂️

Mon 10/19/20/20 - Message for U.S. Citizens: Two Weeks Until Election Day - Alternative Ways to Return Your Ballot...Fast

'Message for U.S. Citizens: Two Weeks Until Election Day - Alternative Ways to Return Your Ballot...Fast-

-"With only two weeks remaining before the November 3 Election Day, the U.S. Embassy in Quito and Consulate General in Guayaquil strongly recommend that you return your ballot electronically (by email, fax, or internet) if your state offers these options. There are many mobile applications that allow users to convert a photograph to a fax if your state allows ballots to be returned this way.  

If you must send a paper ballot, we urge you to use an express courier service as soon as possible to make sure your ballot arrives to your election official before your state’s deadline for receiving ballots.  Remember that some couriers do not ship to P.O. boxes. 

If you are expecting a paper ballot by mail but have not received it, consider using the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Every state accepts the FWAB in lieu of the local ballot. You can use the FWAB as an emergency, back-up option if you do not have time to return your local ballot. To download the FWAB, visit the website for the Federal Voting Assistance Program here.

Ballots dropped off at the Embassy and Consulate General at this point would be unlikely to arrive to your state in time to be counted as delivery times to the United States are between 4-6 weeks. That said, the Embassy and Consulate General will continue to accept ballots through Election Day. Please see our website for up to date information on the days and times when you can drop off your ballot. 

For more information on your state’s local requirements and deadlines, please visit www.FVAP.gov.  If you have any questions, please contact VoteQuito@state.gov or VoteGuayaquil@state.gov

 Sep 21, 20/20 🛢️💵💳⚖️ 'Political Risk Analysis: What’s Ahead For Ecuador’s Economy In 2021?-

 "Ecuador was the first country in Latin America to experience a significant outbreak during the global Covid-19 pandemic. The country has been hit hard both by the virus itself and by the disruption caused by efforts to contain its spread. After growing by only 0.1% in 2019, Ecuador’s GDP is expected to contract by 8.7% in 2020. 

Meanwhile, the country’s embattled president, Lenin Moreno, has an approval rating of under 10%. With a presidential election on the horizon in 2021, Ecuador is at a crossroads. Ecuador’s economy is expected to bounce back in 2021, but the country’s next president will still need to rally support for reforms to the way pensions and state-owned enterprises are managed, and continue to look for ways to diversify exports. In 2019 oil accounted for over a third of Ecuador’s export income.

Encouraging investment and growth in new sectors will be essential for creating jobs and generating additional tax revenue. Foreign investors and executives doing due diligence on potential investment projects in Ecuador need to understand the country’s evolving political risk profile.

To discuss the current dynamic in Ecuador, I reached out to Sebastian Hurtado, the president of PRóFITAS, a political risk consultancy based in Quito, the country’s capital city.

Nathaniel Parish Flannery: Ecuador was in the news for being one of the first countries in Latin America to be hit hard by the coronavirus contagion. Where do things stand now? 

 

Sebastian Hurtado: If you look at public records for total deaths in the first 6 months of 2020, half of the 28,000 excess deaths occurred in April, with over 12,000, an increase of over 300%, occurring in Guayas province, the original epicenter of the pandemic. Since then however, in May and June deaths fell dramatically at a national level as the pandemic subsided in Guayas, most likely due to a certain level of immunity achieved in that region and protective measures. In July, deaths began to rise again as the virus advanced in other regions, including the capital, Quito, however, they stabilized in August.

The government responded to the virus initially through a strict two-month national lockdown in mid-March and the implementation of social distancing measures. Although the response was too late in Guayas, it has been successful in preventing the recurrence of the disaster scenario in the province, which made international headlines due to grim photos of bodies left in streets of the province’s capital, Guayaquil. The effect of these measures is that the curve of cases in other cities, notably the capital, Quito, has been much less steep, with the virus spreading slowly which has mitigated the strain on the health system. 

 

On the other hand, Ecuador has struggled to develop adequate testing and tracing infrastructure, limiting its ability to limit the virus’ spread further and raising worries about how recurring outbreaks can be effectively contained. Furthermore, as is the case in many developing countries, inadequate living and working conditions make social distancing difficult, providing ideal conditions for the virus to spread and further complicating the work of tracing teams......." -
