Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:The spectre of a SARS-CoV-2 variant with increased infectivity further complicates the already-complex epidemiological landscape with its chronic limitations of biomedical understaffing, poor healthcare infrastructure, limited or inadequate diagnostic capacities, and poor compliance of the general population with disease containment measures (Miller et al., 2020). Following the first report of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil in late February 2020 (Andrus et al., 2020; Rodriguez-Morales et al., 2020), SARS-CoV-2 has spread rapidly across the region, resulting in nearly two million cases as of June 25th, 2020, with Brazil and Peru reporting the highest burden of disease (“Epidemic Diseases - Cumulative suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases reported by countries and territories in the Americas,” n.d.). Although Colombia and Venezuela both implemented early lockdown and containment strategies since March 10th and March 17th, respectively, (“CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19),” n.d., “Presidente Maduro anuncia que este martes todo el país entra en cuarentena social • Ministerio del Poder Popular para Relaciones Exteriores,” n.d.), according to current official records there have been over 124,500 COVID-19 cases in Colombia and over 7,700 cases in Venezuela (“CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19),” n.d., “Estadísticas Venezuela | COVID-19 en Venezuela,” n.d.). However, these numbers have to be contextualized because: (i) Colombia has exclusively performed state-of-the-art RT-PCR-based SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis whereas Vene...
