However, the head of capital government posted on her social media that Mexico City is still at orange light and it is false that this Monday it goes green.
We’re continuing at orange traffic lights. This means the opening of some establishments, with very strict health rules and with a capacity, only 30 percent,” Sheinbaum argued.

“I remind you that the orange traffic light is closer to red than green, which means that we are following the alert and that if we lower our guard we would have to return very soon to the red light,” he added. Similarly, the head of government says that the priority is to take care of the health of citizens, so the reopening will have to be done in strict adherence to health standards in order to avoid a res upturn of the epidemic.

During Friday’s conference, the Undersecretariat for Health Prevention and Promotion, Hugo Lopez-Gatell, was questioned about the veracity of the statements made by the journalist. To which the official replied that “a professional statement presented that Mexico City tomorrow would be at green traffic light, where could this crazy idea have gotten, when we have presented to you every day the state that guards the epidemic?”
I don’t know what the intention is, it’s not my role to judge her. I tell the facts and obviously there is no green, there is no green, if anything a yellow,” he emphasized

“Mexico City from next week is orange, it’s its second week in orange. The head of government in Mexico City has been extremely careful in providing all the information and ensuring that it is useful. In addition, in planning the elements of the traffic light and the activities that can be executed”You may be interested:Covid-19 conference live today Friday, July 3Report 654 dead and 2,169 suspicious deaths of Covid-19 this FridayCovid-19 Mexico July 03: 29,843 deaths and 245,251 contagions
