El análisis del costo-beneficio durante el periodo de confinamiento total, mostró que el mes más crítico fue abril.
Los mercados municipales del sector sur de Guayaquil, que son visitados diariamente por más de 250 personas, entre distribuidores, comerciantes, vendedores y clientes, a consecuencia del confinamiento total por el COVID-19 a nivel nacional, varios productos de la Canasta Familiar Básica se escasearon e incrementaron sus precios; debido a varios factores; tales como, que los agricultores y empresas no trabajaron a toda su capacidad por el temor a que los trabajadores sean contagiados por el virus, y así mismo evitar la propagación del mismo; razón por la que, no había como transportar los productos y los comerciantes de los mercados municipales del sector sur de Guayaquil, no iniciaban sus actividades comerciales y de servicio, con la finalidad de disminuir el impacto de este confinamiento total que se vivió, hubiera sido oportuno, la implementación de un Modelo de Continuidad de Negocios, que le sirviera a los comerciantes afrontar de mejor manera asertiva dicha emergencia sanitaria
In December 2019, on the news, there was an alert about an unknown virus, which was rapidly spreading across and around the entire world. This virus was later called “COVID-19”, and in March 2020, we discovered that it was already in Ecuador. For that reason, the Ecuadorian president decreed a state of emergency and thus, made all the people living in the country, to be in almost total confinement during March, April, and May 2020. The cost-benefit analysis during the confinement total period showed that the most critical month was April. The local markets from the south part of Guayaquil, which are the most visited ones daily, at least 250 people among merchants, distributors, vendors, and clients, in general, visit them, were closed. Due to the COVID-19 confinement, most of the basic food basket goods either increased their prices or became scarce because of different reasons. For instance, the fear of getting the virus or spreading it made the farmers and companies not work at their full capacity, this led to another reason, which is the lack of truck drivers to transport the food across the country and the lack of people on the local markets. Therefore, most of the merchants and stores did not start activities with the objective of lower the impact of the virus and the infection rate. It would have been appropriate and convenient the execution of a business continuity model to help the merchants, companies, and people in general, to face in a better and assertive way, the health emergency.
