Special Message: As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to accelerate its spread worldwide, we hope that you and your families stay safe and healthy. At this critical moment, the Atlantic Council is providing timely analysis to help broaden understanding about this rapidly evolving emergency, with the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center rolling out virtual programming, blog posts, and expert analyses to offer insight into the regional responses and implications of coronavirus.

Upcoming Video Conference Event: The global outbreak of COVID-19 has quickly reached Latin America. As confirmed cases across the region surge, community spreading becomes prevalent and the ability to trace and contain the virus diminishes. What actions are regional governments taking—and what responses may be forthcoming—to address the multi-dimensional challenges created by coronavirus? How do public policies converge or differ in approach? Beyond the individual, country-specific countermeasures, what opportunities exist for regional coordination and cooperation?

Join the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and its Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center on Monday, March 23, 2020, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. (EDT), for this beyond-the-headlines virtual discussion with the Foreign Affairs Minister of El Salvador and the Chilean, Colombian, and Costa Rican ambassadors on steps being taken to combat the coronavirus spread and the possible implications. Stay tuned for future such video conferences to provide understanding at this time of many questions.
