Coronavirus: Mexico’s death toll tops 10,000 as restrictions ease

10,167deaths with coronavirus

93,435 cases shown

25,787 in Mexico City

15,210 in the State of Mexico

5,127 in Baja California

The number of cases continues to rise dramatically. On Monday, the country recorded 2,771 new cases and 237 deaths from the coronavirus.

The most affected states are Mexico City, the surrounding state, and Baja California to the north.

The states of Puebla in central Mexico and Sinaloa in the north have also seen a sharp rise in cases.

The number of tests being carried out in Mexico is low and experts warn that the number of infected people may be much higher than what the government has announced.

The first confirmed case of coronavirus recorded in Mexico was in late February, but social distancing measures were not implemented until mid-March.

Schools were officially closed as of March 20, some states had already suspended categories a few days earlier.

While most of the economy shut down as of March 23, some industries were declared essential to the country’s functioning and were exempted from restrictions, prompting protests from workers who said they felt unsafe.

From 18 May, areas where there have been few infections started easing restrictions. On 1 June, the construction sector and automobile manufacturers resumed operations and parks in Mexico City re-opened to a third of their capacity.

Critics of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s government say it has been slow to impose restrictions and too slow to lift them.

On Monday, he explained his approach: “We want to move towards a new general because it is for our national economy, for the well-being of our people; We must, little by little, recover production, economic, social and cultural activity. “to the general. “

But this technique drew complaints from those who felt he was talking about the other 10,000 people who died.

Some media have also pointed out that under the coronavirus traffic-light scale introduced by the government, most states remain in the highest risk “red zone” and questioned whether it was the right time to ease restrictions.
