03 DEC21- "Sanitary controls at Ecuador's airports, both on the mainland and on the islands, intensify this month with the alert of the circulation in the world of the omicron variant of COVID-19. To this end, the authorities developed a series of guidelines that local and foreign travelers must comply with when entering Ecuadorian territory by air, in accordance with what was resolved on November 29 by the national Emergency Operations Committee (COE).

In the case of travelers arriving in Ecuador and even the Galápagos Islands, they must also comply with several parameters, such as the presentation of the negative result of a PCR test up to 72 hours before boarding and a complete vaccination certificate (two doses) with at least fourteen days of validity.

Within the regulations determined by the national COE, the entry of passengers from eight countries on the African continent was restricted, as a point of origin or stopover. These are: South Africa, Namibia, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Eswatini, Mozambique, and Egypt. In an update of the guidelines, dated December 1 of this year, the Ministry of Health determined that regarding Ecuadorian travelers and permanent legal residents in the country who have been in those eight nations in the last fourteen days,

they will be able to enter the country with a negative result of a qualitative real-time RT-PCR test performed up to 72 hours before embarking to Ecuador and upon entering the country they must comply with a fourteen-day quarantine regardless of their vaccination status. If a suspicious case is reported, a PCR test will be carried out. If the test is positive, the citizen must perform fourteen days of isolation." -

​28JUL 2026☣️ 'Biological War: A Scenario' is a 2026 nonfiction book by American investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen.

Published in the United States by Dutton on July 28, 2026, the book examines the potential consequences of a large-scale biological attack or the accidental release of an engineered pathogen.

The book uses a fictional near-future catastrophe to describe how governments, health systems, armed forces and civilian populations might respond to the rapid spread of a highly lethal biological agent.

It combines the fictional scenario with accounts of historical biological-weapons programmes,

interviews with scientists and national-security officials, and discussion of advances in genetic engineering, synthetic biology and 👾artificial intelligence.

It is a thematic successor to Jacobsen's 2024 book -
