“…En el Ecuador, el registro de casos de contagios por COVID-19 comenzó el 29 de febrero de 2020 y de allí los contagios fueron aumentando hasta que en marzo del mismo año el estado ecuatoriano emitiera el decreto ejecutivo No. 1017 para el aislamiento y confinamiento nacional, que permitió el control de los contagios, hasta que una flexibilización de las medidas preventivas incrementara el número de casos de manera acelerada Villarreal Satama et al ( 2021), con un total de 658.045 casos confirmados y 34.279 muertes para el momento que se redactó este artículo Johns Hopkins University & Medicine (2022) como resultado de numerosas desigualdades sociales y un sistema de salud fallido y desatendido (Chauca, 2021) El Decreto Ejecutivo No. 1017 se trató de un mecanismo establecido en la Constitución de la República Ecuador para declarar estado de excepción por calamidad pública en todo el territorio nacional, por los casos de coronavirus confirmados y la declaratoria de pandemia de COVID-19 por parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, a fin de controlar la situación de emergencia sanitaria para garantizar los derechos de las personas ante la inminente presencia del virus COVID-19 en Ecuador, declarando el estado de excepción por 60 días, limitando la movilización a nivel nacional, los derechos a la libertad de tránsito y de asociación y reunión (León Paz & Vaca, 2021).…”

Las medidas aplicadas por el gobierno ecuatoriano para gestión de la crisis sanitaria causada por el COVID-19 han sido muy controversiales en cuanto a los principios bioéticos, Derechos Humanos, y el marco constitucional. En ese sentido se planteó la realización de una investigación de tipo documental-bibliográfico, en la que se han analizado leyes, informaciones y noticias sobre el coronavirus en el Ecuador con la finalidad de conocer las consecuencias de la aplicación de tales medidas. El derecho a la salud ha sido considerado como la principal urgencia que atender en el país, sin embargo, las medidas aplicadas para atender la salud de los ecuatorianos han socavado los derechos fundamentales de los mismos, tanto en el propio sector salud, como en el económico, social, laboral y moral. En consecuencia, se debe plantear una revisión de los principios bioéticos fundamentales de tal forma que se lleguen a acuerdos morales y legales donde los derechos fundamentales no sean violentados.

Objective: ?e aim of the article is to identify the types of innovations produced by public sector organizations in Ecuador duringthe first months of the COVID-19 pandemic.Theoretical framework: ?e paper builds on systematic reviews of publications on public sector innovation to identify types ofinnovations, antecedents of organizations, both at the external and internal organizational levels, and outcomes of the innovations.Methodology: ?e paper is exploratory in nature and mixes quantitative and qualitative data to characterize innovations. For this,an online survey questionnaire was sent to public servants to identify innovations, and a structured interview was then carried outto flesh out some of the details of the processes of innovation reported.Results: Findings show that most innovations in the Ecuadorean public sector are top-down in nature, and relate to adoptingtechnologies to support existing interventions. ?ese technologies; however, go beyond those used for facilitating telework.Moreover, most innovations are produced in organizations perceived as centralized, where there is continuous support forinnovation. The main finding of this research relates to the presence of specialized units within public sector organizations, whichsupport innovation and help the development of interorganizational networks. This type of unit has been overlooked in theliterature and require further investigation in regards to when and how they bridge between organizations to facilitate lastinginnovations.Originality: The article introduces a distinction between organizations that have direct or indirect interactions with clients orcitizens which helps to take stock of the incentives they may have for innovating. ?e article then identifies the different types ofinnovations produced in public sector organizations when this substantive difference is taken into account.Teoretical and practical contributions: ?e study offers support to findings made in other contexts, while also contributeswith findings that add qualitative depth to the relationships between organizational characteristics, innovation processes, externalfactors and outcomes. It highlights the importance of supporting and strengthening the units specialized on innovation to makethe most out of crises and structural reform.

“…Under the baton of a president with a strong authoritarian temper, thousands of people were arrested. The intensity of the conflicts was such that the president was forced to travel more than 400 kilometers away from his administrative headquarters to escape the popular protests that overcrowded the streets of the country's capital Quito (TRUJILLO, 2020;CHAUCA, 2021).…”

The article analyses structural and context constraints and opportunities faced by Latin America in the battle against the Covid-19 pandemic. We argue that the number of deaths (and related statistics, such as number of infected or number of tests) as a proportion of the countries’ populations is an important but insufficient measure of the effectiveness of each country’s responses to the SARS-CoV-2. We test the correlation of deaths with typical structural constraints (Gross domestic product, United Nation – Human Development Index, Gini index, expenditure in health, children’s mortality rate, informality rate), and find that between countries’ differences in these measures do not help to understand the number of deaths per million inhabitants. We then move to a more in-depth analysis of 11 selected Latin American countries to show that those that chose collective responsibility (a notion developed in the article) in the management of the responses to the crisis, and that could coordinate the actions of different governing levels, fared much better than those that chose individual responsibility and low levels of coordination, irrespective of existing structural constraints.
