Unlike weekends or Mondays, when fewer cases are usually counted, Tuesdays are usually seen rebounds due to records that are delayed in previous days.
In two years with five months of pandemic, Mexico has gone through five waves of infections.
Federal health officials say the current wave has a month of declining trend.
Despite the situation, international organizations and experts urge countries and people not to lower their guard and maintain measures to prevent contagion, such as the use of masks, constant hand washing and ventilation of enclosed spaces.
