Brits have been advised to follow the advice of police and other authorities after Ecuadorian president Daniel Noboa extended the country’s 60-day state of emergency for a further 30 days through to 6 April.
"There may be increased military and police presence around key public buildings, airports, bus terminals and on the streets," the Foreign Office said in an update to its travel advice for Ecuador on Monday (11 March). "Monitor local media and stay away from areas involving increased security activity."
