This announcement about the National Guard is after relatives of patients broke out at the Hospital Las Américas in Ecatepec last Friday, claiming that they did not receive information about their patients.
At least 15 people in two groups entered the hospital premises and assaulted medical, surveillance and administrative personnel from the site, according to information provided by the state government.
On Monday, it was also reported that the outside of the clinic of the Institute of Health of the State of Mexico (ISEM), was sanitized to reduce the risk of coronavirus contagion.
