Caution for Costa Rica travelers

[Solo I Know]

Earlier today I was telling a neighbor about my upcoming trip to Costa Rica (March 2020). A short while later she referred me to the following article:

Not trying to be an alarmist, but figured it was good for people to know.

Safe travels,

Been seeing they've been having more trouble too. We are booked for Oct 2020, hoping they get things figured out. figure ABD will keep us away from trouble spots though.

These are not brands I recognize from any of the stops on our Costa Rica tour in July - which occurred just before this story broke internationally. If you are concerned, just stick to beer and wine!!!
