Might be because reducing viral introduction is feasible on an island nation with few visitors. Simple epidemiology. Impossible when you have tons of visitors and many points of entry. About 2 million vs 100 million visitors. Read More

Let's focus on the dog. Bringing your dog in is a bit of a pain but it can be done. As he is huge, that might create difficulties with the airline. They have certain times they don't take big dogs. When you arrive, probably Guayaguil, you ... Read More
