The main border crossings of Costa Rica were again blocked Thursday amid a wave of protests that the country is experiencing against the negotiation of an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to clean up public finances.
The Public Security Ministry (MSP) says drug traffickers have instigated violence between protesters and police at various roadblocks throughout Costa Rica.
Costa Rica announced 20 new coronavirus-related deaths over the past day for a total of 1,024, according to official data released Wednesday afternoon by the Health Ministry.
