Hugo López-Gatell, Undersecretary of Health, exemplified, during the daily conference on COVID-19, that Chiapas, an entity from which this Secretariat presented the new traffic light, went orange because it met the evaluated criteria: hospital availability, reduction of positive cases, sustained reduction of hospitalized cases and a percentage of positivity to the virus that has also been reduced. 
Accompanied by other officials – including María Luisa Albores, Welfare Secretariat, Zoe Robledo, director of IMSS, Víctor Suarez, Undersecretary of Food Self-Sufficiency, and Rutilio Escandón, governor of Chiapas- López – Gatell presented the COVID-19 plan: Community Action, which will be launched in that entity and will serve as a model and platform for the rest of the country. 
It will be based on health promotion and will have several axes: assess community vulnerability, identify people at risk; reduce the risk of complicating and dying from COVID; detecting sick people early; provide close monitoring; provide comprehensive health care; make timely references to care; detect, study and control community outbreaks; provide solidarity social support and continue general health care. 
The plan will be strengthened by federal government social programs, including those in the countryside, such as Welfare Production, to ensure sufficient nutrition for the population and thus strengthen health.
One of the main features of this plan is that it is based on primary health care (first level) and will incorporate community advocates, people from the same communities who will support in health prevention tasks.  
Regarding the return to face-to-face classes, the undersecretary noted that the federal government has not yet decided whether it will be in August or September and anticipated that next week will hold a meeting with education secretary Esteban Moctezuma Barragán to discuss different proposals.
