Covid-19 Treatment Development in Costa Rica
With only seven deaths to date and 804 positive cases, not only has Costa Rica been able to effectively contain the spread of Covid-19, but it is also amongst the few countries in Latin America that is currently working on developing a treatment for the Covid-19 disease.
On September 3 our naturalist guides Melany Ocon Rojas and Randy Gómez Alvarado were part of the creation of mud spheres at ECOFEST 2019 with the help of other institutions and schools. They helped form approximately 1,500 "spheres" that will be released this September 22 in the Sarapiquí River.
