3) The @Iberia flight was unable to land in Guayaquil and had to divert to Quito. The coronavirus outbreak was used to justify the blocking of the runway.

4) @Iberia flight flew to Quito to land, approximately 50 minutes away. This crew-only, passenger-less @KLM aircraft from Madrid (video below) was also denied landing and diverted to Quito—posing no threat of COVID-19. Travelers will not be able to leave Ecuador for Europe.

6) Ecuador's Guayaquil Mayor had her people enter an international airport by force in order to send a fleet of vehicles to park down the runway to prevent planes from landing—all in the name of COVID-19 prevention. They made their way in by shoving this security worker.pic.twitter.com/yc55gpqikv
7) Following this scandal of international proportions, Cynthia Viteri now claims to have contracted coronavirus. Yesterday, the nation's prosecutor announced an investigation into the events at the airport & Spain is looking to take action against Ecuadorhttps://twitter.com/CynthiaViteri6/status/1240661848225189888 …
Shameful
