A partir de una revisión de documentos oficiales, se identifican y comparan las características de las respuestas que estos gobiernos ejecutan durante el primer semestre del 2020. Se concluye que, si bien los gobiernos desarrollan principalmente medidas de bioseguridad, hay diferencias importantes en las estrategias adoptadas por estos, posiblemente motivadas por las características sociales, política y económicas imperantes en dichos países. Asimismo, la incertidumbre y falta de información que se tenía en los primeros momentos de la pandemia del COVID-19 parece que influye para que los gobiernos de estos países sigan las recomendaciones giradas por organismos internacionales, sin que haya un fuerte interés de revisar o reajustar estas medidas según las características de sus países.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttps://orb.binghamton.edu/gobernar/vol5/iss9/4/https://orb.binghamton.edu/gobernar/vol5/iss9/4/Copyright © 2021 José Andrés Díaz-GonzálezAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Gobernar, Vol. 5, Núm. 9 (2021)Initial responses to COVID-19 by four Central American governmentsRespuestas iniciales ante el COVID-19 por cuatro Gobiernos Centroamericanosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlearticleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1GovernmentCOVID-19Public PolicyCentral AmericaGobiernoCOVID-19Políticas PúblicasCentroaméricaDíaz-González, José AndrésGobernar59194410784/31014oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/310142022-03-23 11:59:33.416metadata.onlyhttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
