A person of 75 years coming in a wheelchair from Miami to Guayaquil, Ecuador but due to the time and the shifts in Miami you will not be able to come with the COVID test, they will do the test at the airport how to proceed
Being from a vulnerable group, I recommend you consult with the Foreign Ministry.
