What is it about?
This text is based on a survey including over 2.000 households in Ecuador regarding the effects of Covid-19 and the government's protection measures. With it, we can understand further the social impacts of Covid-19 in the Global South. The main topics are how people inform themselves on both disease and measures, how they build knowledge from this information, and what emotions result.

Why is it important?
This is the first quantitative study on the social impacts of Covid-19 and anti-Covid-19 measures in Ecuador. As we focus on knowledge and emotions, our results go beyond the immediate case and allow to understand the way people in Ecuador deal with crisis.
Perspectives
