COVID-19 en América Latina: Perspectivas Sobre las Acciones Políticas Ante la Emergencia Sanitaria

Abstract

The objective of this work is to carry out an exploratory review of some of the socioeconomic impacts derived from the health emergency of COVID-19 in Latin America and particularly in the case of Mexico. For this, some of these aspects were contrasted with respect to the political actions taken by the governments of the region. The analysis was made through the statistical review of the information published by international organizations, as well as by journalistic publications. As a result, it was obtained that, although the political actions in most Latin countries have been more than 100 in a short period of time, they have not been sufficient or adequate to curb the risks in terms of people s lives. Finally, a series of recommendations are presented to overcome this collective emergency.
