18 MAR 2021 (09:40) 💉 'The National COE announced new measures to enter the country.- "Those who carry a vaccination card against Covid-19 will no longer need a PCR test. 👩🔬
This was reported by the president of the National Emergency Operations Committee (COE), Juan Zapata, after a meeting of that body in which educational and air travel issues were analyzed, given that the land borders are still closed. 🚧
-Reforms have been made to the protocols for the entry of foreigners into Ecuadorian territory by air. Those citizens who enter and present the vaccination card with the complete doses will be able to enter without presenting the negative PCR test, - said Zapata at a press conference.
Those who are not vaccinated must continue to present a negative PCR test, or antigens, upon entry. But now a maximum of 72 hours before arrival. 😷
The measure, which will take effect from the 22nd to have time to inform consulates, embassies and airlines, is the same for Ecuadorian citizens as foreigners, although the reform, Zapata acknowledged, seeks to encourage international tourists.
In this way, he added, "sufficient guarantees will be generated to reactivate the tourism sector that was compromised during the pandemic."
Like the rest of the world, the Ecuadorian tourism sector suffered a very strong fall due to the coronavirus, which has punished many households that depended on it and companies.
VACCINATED
At the same press conference, the Vice Minister of Tourism, Ricardo Zambrano, argued that, with these reforms, there will be a possibility of receiving the population that has already been vaccinated.
"If we take into account the global figures, there are 83 million vaccinated, and the strategic markets that Ecuador receives from international tourism have a fairly high vaccination rate," recalled the vice minister, referring in particular to the United States where "1.3 million people are being vaccinated every day."
"It is an opportunity for the reactivation of tourism in Ecuador," he said, thanking the COE-Nacional for its decision.
The idea is to expedite the arrival of tourists who are vaccinated. In addition, to help with this to lift a sector that as a result of the pandemic has lost close to 2 billion dollars.
SCHOLARSHIP
On the other hand, the COE also analyzed the situation in 77 schools recently authorized to open a pilot program of face-to-face teaching, where there have been no infections among students, although four teachers tested positive for the virus.
“According to the experts' indicators, it is positive; adequate isolation was established and there were no problems, "said Zapata.
According to this evaluation, the Ministry could authorize other school institutions to enter into the pilot plans with the protocols already established.
Ecuador closed schools on March 12, 2020, and since then only pilot projects have been authorized in a few hundred schools, especially rural ones, where digital education is much more complicated due to lack of infrastructure. "

01JUL25 - SOUTHCOM’s TMPI: Towards Integrated Deterrence in the Americas by Building Maintenance Capacity- #ECUADOR - "Analyzing Ecuador’s foreign policy trajectory over the past two decades is pertinent to illuminating the region’s evolving political and security landscape. During President Rafael Correa’s administration between 2007 and 2017, Ecuador pivoted by severing its military relations with the US.
This comprehensive shift included ordering the closure of the security cooperation office in the US Embassy and honoring but not renewing the lease term for the Manta Air Base, causing the withdrawal of approximately 300 US military personnel stationed there.
However, this period of strained relations was followed by the re-establishment of the Office of Security Cooperation (OSC) in 2018, signaling a potential shift that ultimately materialized with new military cooperation agreements signed with the US in 2023 under President Lasso and ratified in 2024 by President Daniel Noboa. ...
25JUN25 "Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa announced this Thursday the capture of Adolfo Macías Villamar, alias "Fito ," considered the leader of the Los Choneros organized crime group.
"For those who opposed and doubted the need for the Solidarity and Intelligence laws : thanks to those laws, Fito was captured today and is in the hands of the Security Bloc," the president posted on the social network X.
"We have done our part to proceed with Fito's extradition to the United States , and we await your response. Have a good afternoon, Ecuador," Noboa added.
The criminal leader had been on the run for over a year and a half , after escaping from the Guayaquil Regional Prison and hiding his tracks while the country was engulfed in a spiral of violence, culminating in the brief takeover of a television station.
'Fito,' who was serving a 34-year sentence for organized crime, drug trafficking, and murder , escaped on January 7, 2024, as he was about to be transferred to La Roca, a ...
