Covid-19 is causing several casualties in Chile, and the main commercial cities, where many migrants reside, particularly Haitian migrants, are quarantined or in transition. As a consequence, the unemployment rate in Chile during the February-April 2020 quarter was 9.0 (INE, 2020).
The most affected are migrants, either because they cannot access the social assistance offered by the government, or because of the lack of documents or because they do not know the source of information.
Some businesses that resist have changed sales formats: Online sales, by phone, WhatsApp, mail, delivery ...
To reach customers or beneficiaries, companies or organizations use digital marketing, social networks, and others.
