Ecuador is one of the countries most affected by the coronavirus. According to official data, there are already almost 3,000 cases. And although the emergency is the same from country to country, in Ecuador the crisis has taken another face.

In Guayaquil, the epicenter of the epidemic, there are abandoned bodies on the streets and others in private homes waiting to be picked up.

Even so, it is not clear if these are patients who died of coronavirus or other causes. Desperate family members ask for help.

They are afraid of being infected when handling the bodies, while the authorities assure that they do what they can to collect them.
