Hello from Ecuador: 1. Vehicles are limited in circulation based on the last number of the license plate but there are a lot of exemptions - for details (link) 2. Most beaches (at least in Manabi) have limited hours. Here in Manta it is daily 0500-1500 although beach restaurants at Playa Murcielago and Playa Tarqui can stay open past 1500. In some other towns (Santa Marianita) beaches are open till 1700 workdays and 1500 holidays/weekends. 3. There is a "Dry Law" - Ley Seco - that prohibits alcohol sales on Fri-Sun BUT some restaurants are exempt and this had been around for years. 4. I was able to buy beer today in a major supermarket w/out any issues so not sure about the blanket statement in the December update above. Also be advised many small stores (mini mercados) simply ignore this.
Hope this helps.

I am seeing information saying that national curfews and movement restrictions (based on license plate number) and inter-province travel restrictions in certain "yellow" provinces have been lifted. Is this verified?
