Abstract:

The study analyzes the development of responses to address the Covid-19 pandemic in Latin America. This is a descriptive study based on an analysis of documents, data, and policy measures adopted or announced between March and December 2020 in 14 Latin American countries. The analysis comprised the assessment of the content, content, and scope of policy measures for containment and mitigation, health care, and reorganization of health services identified in government websites. In addition, quantitative demographic indicators were included, as well as those related to the epidemiological situation and the result of the Sringency index. In general, the responses of Latin American countries were heterogeneous, although multisectoral, characterizing the complexity and diversity of decision making in the face of the pandemic. We conclude that there is still much to reflect on the consequences of regulatory weaknesses for the achievement of multidimensional needs during health crises.
