The COVID-19 pandemic in Costa Rica was a part of the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have spread to Costa Rica on 6 March 2020, after a 49-year-old woman tourist from New York, United States, tested positive for the virus.[3]

As of 9 August 2022, Costa Rica has reported 1,057,695 positive cases, and 8,774 deaths.[4]

As of 31 March 2022, there have been 10,166,273 vaccine doses applied. Among these, 4,336,171 are first dosages, 3,971,404 are second dosages, and 1,858,698 are third doses .[5]

Background

On 12 January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, which was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[6][7]

The case fatality ratio for COVID-19 has been much lower than SARS of 2003,[8][9] but the transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[10][8]

Control measures

The government has declared a color coded alert system for the control and containment of the pandemic, as follows:[11]

  • Green (Information): No reported cases, but neighboring countries exposed.
  • Yellow (Moderated): Accelerated increasing of epidemiological variables, high hospital occupancy, low control of cases.
  • Orange (High): Increasing of epidemiological variables, medium hospital occupancy, acceptable control of cases.
  • Red (Extreme): Extreme hospital occupancy.

The epidemiological variables are:

  • Canton risk by attack rate (weekly): New cases by canton population divided by new national cases, 66% of weight.
  • Slope and variation coefficient (triweekly): Weekly increase or decrease in the active cases of a canton, 33% of weight.

More specific details, formulas or algorithms for the alert color designation of the cantons or districts have been kept secret and has not been released as of July 2020, which has been contested by local government of the cantons, commerce associations, journalists and open data activists.[12]

As of August 2020, only Yellow Alert or Orange Alert has been used to designate the administrative areas of the country, with differentiated restrictions on each area.

On 14 May, 52 deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica signed a letter addressed to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), requesting "urgent and forceful" actions in the face of the COVID-19 situation in Nicaragua, since, according to the legislators, "the Nicaraguan government has recklessly handled the health crisis due to COVID-19", for which they denounce that it could have negative effects in neighboring countries, including Costa Rica.[84]

Vaccination

The US delivers Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines to Costa Rica as part of the COVAX initiative in 2021

Costa Rica's vaccine priority is divided into six groups: (1) staff and residents at retirement or nursing homes, first responders and health personnel, (2) Costa Rica's older population, defined here as those ages 58 and up, (3) people from 16 to 58 with risk factors (4) teachers and other staff within the Education Ministry, people employed in hospitality such as resorts and hotels, imprisoned people and judicial staff (5) health science students and related technicians in clinical fields, people ages 40–57 without any of the aforementioned risk factors but whose work puts them in contact with others, (6) all remaining adults.[90] Costa Rica, along with Panama and El Salvador, is leading the race for vaccination against COVID-19 in Central America. By the end of May 2021, Costa Rica has administered 28.37 doses per 100 people or a total of 1,457,802 administered doses.[91] Costa Rica has a vaccine supply of five million doses which covers 49.1% of the population.[92] The nation has purchased four million doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine and received one million doses of AstraZeneca/Oxford of which 132,000 doses have been allocated through the COVAX mechanism, a worldwide initiative that aims at equitable access for COVID-19 vaccines.[93] Contrarily to many Latin American countries, Costa Rica has not received vaccine donations by China. Although China has exercised vaccine diplomacy with its allies in the region, Costa Rica does not rely on Chinese vaccines in spite of intact diplomatic ties.[94] As of December 8, 2022, mandatory Covid-19 vaccination for children under the age of 12 has been suspended by an Administrative Court which ordered the suspension of executive decree No. 43364 of 13 December 2021, which imposed compulsory COVID-19 vaccination on children of pediatric age. Among others, the plaintiff claimed that the measure is not valid because the vaccine has not yet been approved in its country of origin (the United States) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and it is still in a study phase, a situation that is also accredited by the so-called BLA APPROVAL, issued by the FDA on 23 August. Furthermore, the plaintiff submitted that studies to demonstrate the possible adverse effects of inoculation in a population as vulnerable as children are currently pending, thus suggesting the need for the interim suspension of the measures. By decision no. 439-2022-I, the Administrative Court of San José upheld the claim. In particular, the Court first considered that children have a reinforced protection, not only by the national legal system (best interests of the child, article 5 of the Childhood and Adolescence Code), but also internationally (Convention on the Rights of the Child, Law 7184), due to their vulnerability. Hence, it is of utmost importance to assess whether the mandatory nature of the vaccine could imply a potential harm to them. In this regard, it must be considered that children vaccine has only received an emergency authorization in its country of origin and the administrative process that will lead to its full authorization is still pending. The evidence submitted by the plaintiff, namely the so-called "COVID-19 and compulsory vaccination. Ethical Considerations and Warnings. Policy Summary", issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) on 13 April 2021, also suggests that the WHO itself does not ethically recommend that the vaccine should be compulsory for children due to the lack of data on the safety and efficacy of vaccines in this population. Furthermore, imposing mandatory vaccination on children appears to be disproportionate at present since most countries have lifted various restrictions, including compulsory vaccination on other vulnerable categories, as well as external restrictions, such as vaccination requirements for foreigners entering the country. Based on the above, the Court concluded that, given the legal interest protected, since the possibility of serious effects on children's health has not been scientifically ruled out yet, it is appropriate to suspend the measure imposing mandatory vaccination on children.https://www.covid19litigation.org/news/2022/12/costa-rica-administrative-court-san-jose-provisionally-suspends-application-measures
