President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua is blaming coronavirus-related monitoring measures taken by Costa Rica for his decision to close the border.
In cities across Mexico, morgues are full and funeral homes are jammed but nobody knows for sure how many people have died in the COVID-19 pandemic.The Central American Council of Economic Integration Ministers discussed the measures Monday and asked Costa Rica to suspend its latest ones. Costa Rica proposed creating a regional protocol, including bio-security measures and a working group to make sure commerce continues to flow freely.
Costa Rica Foreign Trade Secretary Dyalá Jiménez said the other regional members complained that the measures were not approved by the regional body and therefore lacked legal standing. “This situation complicated the possibility of arriving at regional agreements to quickly allow us to address the situation at our borders,” she said.Get breaking news, investigations, analysis and more signature journalism from the Los Angeles Times in your inbox.Advertisement
Costa Rican business groups have also complained about the effects of the measures on commerce. The Costa Rica Exporters Chamber said the government’s actions Friday had a negative impact on more than 1,000 Costa Rica exporters.Ortega said he was willing to talk to his Costa Rican counterparts to find a solution, “but it depends on Costa Rica.”
