Impacto sociojurídico del Covid-19 en la gobernanza de países de América.

Abstract

SARS-CoV2. (Covid-19) makes its first appearance on the American continent on February 26, specifically in Brazil; he confirmed his first case in São Paulo in the national media. Due to the magnitude of what is happening, the leaders of Latin America have assumed the direct direction of the crisis, making strategic decisions regarding health, political and economic measures, which have had a positive or negative impact on the entire population of the country. American continent.Most countries in Latin America and the Caribbean implemented measures similar to those taken by European and Asian countries to stop the spread of the virus, governments closed their borders, decreed the mandatory isolation of the population and prohibited any activity that implied the concentration of people in public and private places. Among the measures adopted by governments to make social distancing effective are: the curfew, mandatory confinements, the closure of schools and universities, as well as restrictions on the mobility of the population. Faced with this unprecedented panorama, it is evident that, as a result, the economy is closed and paralyzed, because societies go into more or less severe quarantines, depending on the country and its ruler. The policy measures that have already been taken to face the crisis are in permanent change, as seen in the COVID-19 Observatory in Latin America and the Caribbean, of ECLAC, which updates this information frequently. Beyond any predictive model, government action is taking place on the basis of trial and error. The uncertainty that humanity is currently experiencing, which will not end until a vaccine is developed, will continue to have a negative impact on the social and economic dimensions of development.
