National Parks tickets closed by emergency covid-19By the A.M. Costa Rica staff National Park closures around the country have been extended until May 1 in order to control the spread of the coronavirus covid-19, announced the Ministry of Environment on Wednesday. Originally the ministry ordered the closure of national parks from March 20 to April 13, however, due to the increase in restrictions ordered by the government, this period was extended. "The closure will remain in force due to the regulation by the authorities to avoid crowds," said the ministry in their statement. However, more than 400 park rangers continue to guard the 144 Protected Wildlife Areas to prevent tourists from entering during the quarantine period.
