The COVID-19 pandemic had an unprecedented impact on the global economy and especially on tourism. Though, the effects of the health crisis have been geographically uneven. This paper aims to understand the socioeconomic and labour consequences of this crisis in one of the main tourist municipalities on the Spanish Mediterranean coast, Lloret de Mar. It is a prototype of a Fordist city based on tourism. To achieve this, quantitative and qualitative techniques are combined. The extreme vulnerability of this productive model was shown with the interruption of the tourist activity. COVID-19 exacerbated the structural crisis of the destination. Various indicators demonstrate that its socioeconomic situation is worse than that of the majority of Catalan municipalities. Lloret is at the forefront among the municipalities with the lowest median income per consumption unit, and among those where the pandemic had a higher incidence in terms of income reduction and inequality. Broken the balance between work, unemployment insurance and informal activities, the crisis exacerbated the vulnerability of its workforce, especially those who could not take advantage of public protection mechanisms.

Those requiring emergency health care cannot wait. Ambulances must arrive at the scene as quickly as possible. Ambulances are usually assigned to bases distributed throughout the city to minimize arrival time to the event. However, the spatial distribution of events changes during the day according to people's rhythm and city use. This paper evaluates, through location-allocation modelling, the Spatio-temporal performance of SAMUR-PC, the Emergency Medical Service of Madrid (Spain), in two different scenarios, before the COVID-19 pandemic and during the first months of the new normality period. The results show that the system responded relatively well to the change in event patterns due to the pandemic. However, some interventions would have been necessary to guarantee the same service as before the epidemiological crisis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
