Brazil reported the highest number of COVID-19 cases in SAM, followed by Argentina, Peru, Chile, and Ecuador. Governments in SAM have taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and combat the spread of the COVID-19 virus through lockdowns, trade bans, and travel restrictions. These measures have negatively reflected the SAM lubricants market due to considerable disruptions in sourcing raw materials from suppliers and temporary closures of the manufacturing base, caused by indefinite lockdowns and temporary quarantines.
