Mexico.- With a continuous increase in the number of coronavirus victims and deaths, Mexico continues to make great efforts to contain the spread of the virus.
At yesterday’s conference led by Hugo López-Gatell, Undersecretary of Health, it was reported that there are 4,220 people who died of coronavirus in Mexico, as well as 40,186 infected.
In the face of updating the new death figures, the Ministry of Health stresses that national measures issued by the SSA continue, such as the temporary suspension of non-essential work activities in the public and private sectors; suspension of face-to-face activities in the education system, and temporary interruption of congregations in public spaces, such as cinemas, theaters, parks, squares and beaches.
1. Nuevo León and Jalisco enlist their economic revival
Mexico.- The states of Nuevo León and Jalisco, two of Mexico’s largest industrial hubs, announced on Wednesday the start of preparations for the economic revival scheduled for June 1 by the country’s health authorities.
In the northern Nuevo León, the social and economic revival will be fulfilled “under strict sanitary conditions and based on the behavior of the virus itself,” said the state’s Secretary of Economy and Labor, Roberto Russildi, at a press conference.
The governor of the western state of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, announced that the economic revival will begin next Monday with the preparation of the protocols that will be applied from the return to normal.
2. “New normal” in Mexico demands economic and health reversal
Mexico.- The process in Mexico to reach a “new normal”, once the new coronavirus (COVID-19) begins to reduce its spread, will demand a shift in economic and health matters in the search for a balance that allows the coexistence and re-ativation of the economy, as experts estimated.
The director of the Institute for Industrial Development and Economic Growth (IDIC), José Luis de la Cruz, considered that Mexico now has the advantage of being able to assimilate what is already functioning in other regions in the world and that it has proven its effectiveness, as has happened in China and other Asian nations after the critical phase of covid-19.
3. Lopez-Gatell: We’ll probably never get back to normal after quarantine
CDMX.- The Undersecretary for Health Prevention and Promotion, Hugo López-Gatell, said in an interview with Denise Maerker that we will probably never return to normal after covid-19 coronavirus.
Chances are ever. We must get used to a new normal that involves knowing how to live with an infectious agent, such as SARS-CoV-2, the federal official sentenced the question: when will we return to normal?
