According to Del Mazo, although the 54 COVID-19 hospitals have treated 21,000 patients and discharged to more than 16,000, they will still have to wait to resume activities.
He also explained that in the Toluca Valley “contagions continue to increase”, while in the Valley of Mexico, in reference to the area conurbada with Mexico City, two weeks are slowing the rate of contagion.
“The week that comes in should be of preparation,” the governor said of implementing measures and protocols in business towards a reopening.
Del Mazo explained that when the orange traffic light is reached, all small businesses will be able to restart activities, without generating crowds, such as stationery, furniture stores, clothing stores, rework and all kinds of business; as well as shops that offer services, such as dry cleaners, local repair and maintenance workshops in general.
