Well on top of the recent covid bad news I just read this announcement from the US Embassy. I am planning on going in two weeks for dental work (and putang). This won't stop me.

Costa Rican media outlets and social media sources are reporting that Rescate Nacional has called for road blocks at various points across Costa Rica this week to protest the Government’s negotiations with the International Monetary Fund, the Public employment bill, and increases in fuel prices. The Embassy has received confirmed reports of minor confrontations between police and protestors and temporarily blocked roads at several locations across Costa Rica. The majority of protests in Costa Rica are non-violent in nature. However, you should exercise caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations. The Embassy will continue to review the situation and will provide additional information as needed. U.S. citizens traveling within Costa Rica may wish to consult with local media sources or traffic Apps to identify possible road closures or delays in specific areas.

Using Waze helps quite a bit with negotiating traffic in Costa Rica.
