The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on health care systems that, in many instances, worsened the already existing assistance gaps. When it comes to Latin America and Central America, this challenge adds to the consequences mass mobilizations have had in recent years, which have exc...eeded the national capacities to provide prompt assistance and social protection, particularly in the health care field. This pandemic has a direct impact on people on the move since the movement restriction policies and the lockdown and social distancing measures have reduced their ability to insert themselves into economic activities that were already precarious in many cases.

The flow of migrants and refugees from Venezuela constitutes the largest mobilization of people in the history of Latin America. By March 2020, more than 4.9 million Venezuelans have left their country and from these, more than 4.1 million have been mobilized to count...ries in Latin America and the Caribbean. The motives for this mobilization are diverse, but those related to health care issues stand out, among which is the condition of living with HIV/AIDS. In the situation of demand for medical care that COVID-19 has generated, it is much more difficult to receive attention for people who are not included in the health systems of countries that are recipient due to the limitations that their migratory status may impose.

El flujo de migrantes y refugiados desde Venezuela constituye la mayor movilización de personas en la historia de Latinoamérica. Para el mes de marzo de 2020, más de 4.9 millones de venezolanos habían abandonado su país y de éstos, más 4.1 millones se h...an movilizado a países de Latinoamérica y el Caribe. Las motivaciones de esta movilización son diversas, pero destacan aquellas vinculadas a temas de atención en salud, entre las cuales se encuentra la condición de vivir con VIH/sida. En la coyuntura de demanda de atención que ha generado el COVID-19 es mucho más difícil que las personas que no están incluidas en los sistemas de salud de los países receptores reciban atención por las limitaciones que puede imponer su estatus migratorio.

Las fronteras con Colombia y Perú se mantuvieron cerradas y parecería que esta medida se extendería los primeros meses del año 2021. Los contagios por COVID-19 incrementaron de manera sostenida durante el mes de diciembre. Para evitar aglomeraciones y una saturación en el sistema de salud, el G...obierno Nacional (Decreto Ejecutivo No. 1217 / 21 diciembre 2020) declaró el estado de excepción en el territorio nacional, restringiendo la movilidad y el uso de espacios públicos, así como estableciendo un toque de queda.
A pesar de estas restricciones a la movilidad, los refugiados y migrantes continuaron ingresando a Ecuador por pasos irregulares. Se reporta un incremento de ingresos irregulares por la frontera de Tulcán: en el mes de diciembre, hubo entre 350-400 personas ingresando diariamente durante el período de monitoreo (4 horas diarias). Esto representa un incremento del 35% si se lo compara con los ingresos reportados en noviembre.
