Abstract
The COVID-19 virus has affected everyone around the world. At the moment there is no cure for the virus but thousands have recovered. This has caused economic problems from big companies down to individual families. For example, Costa Rica. I will focus on the town of Santa Elena and surrounding areas. The data that was collected was based on a survey that was sent out to the community. The survey included questions referring to their jobs, sectors, and reasons for suspension of contracts. I limited the surveys to the surrounding areas and to specific questions that I wanted to focus on. The reason for this research is to attempt to come up with possible solutions that can help with these communities. The area is heavily relied on tourism as their main source of income. The impacts differ from the beginning and throughout the course of the pandemic.
Resumen
El virus COVID-19 ha afectado a todo el mundo. Por el momento no hay cura para el virus, pero miles se han recuperado. Esto ha causado problemas económicos de grandes empresas hasta familias individuales. Por ejemplo, Costa Rica. Me enfocaré en el pueblo de Santa Elena y sus alrededores. Los datos que se recopilaron se basaron en una encuesta que fue enviado a la comunidad. La encuesta incluyó preguntas referentes a sus trabajos, sectores y motivos de suspensión de contratos. Limité las encuestas a las áreas circundantes y a preguntas en las que quería centrarme. La razón de esta investigación es intentar llegar a posibles soluciones que pueden ayudar con estas comunidades. La zona se basa en gran medida en el turismo como su principal fuente de ingresos. Los impactos difieren desde el inicio y a lo largo del curso de la pandemia.
