El Salvador: e-Commerce flourishes with COVID-19

Two years ago, Salvadoran consumers had few options for online purchases.
The Caribbean tourism industry and the hotel/restaurant food service sector have been significantly impacted in both the near and long-term as a result of COVID-19.
On March 20th, 2020 the Salvadoran Legislative Assembly issued decree 604 temporarily eliminating import tariffs on certain products to guarantee sufficient supply during the COVID-19 emergency.
