Costa Rica closed 2020 with a fiscal deficit of 8.3% of GDP, the highest in recent decades although lower than the official projection, the government announced Monday.
Effective January 26, all airline passengers to the United States ages two years and older must provide either a negative COVID-19 viral test.
Costa Rica relies heavily on U.S. tourism, and the CDC's decisions to implement new testing requirements will likely have significant impacts on the sector.
