Mexico COVID-19 cases surge after influx of American tourists

[777777777777777777 18,774]

To avoid COVID-19 restrictions, many Americans have traveled to Mexico to vacation.
In November, more than half a million Americans traveled to Mexico, The New York Times reported.
The influx has contributed to a surge in COVID-19 cases in the country. Mexico has recently reported new highs in daily cases.

The influx of Americans has been partly due to relaxed restrictions in Mexico : While many countries require proof of a negative coronavirus test or a quarantine upon arrival, Mexico does not ask for either.

In late December the Riviera Maya, a region with numerous all-inclusive resorts, had welcomed more American tourists than ever before.
Quintana Roo, where Tulum and Cancun are, had a 23% increase in American visitors compared with 2019 and  about 100 flights from the US were landing in the region every day.

The saddest part is that Mexico's public health care system is in really bad shape, so this will severely affect those who can't afford private medical attention the most, aka the poor. All thanks to an incompetent government.

Lockdown of entertainment areas in Puerto Vallarta is designed to discourage travelers from December 25 to January 10. The governor reported that these actions are taken due to the increase in infections.

I will never forget the Mexican President "praying cironavirus away"

Mexico should have followed Canada's lead and closed the border to visitors.

[Dulo Peep 8,731]

Actually the president of the hotels associations ASKED the goverment to "relax" the covod rules during the holiday season to make more money and "recover" 

Bad move tbh

To be fair, it's not only Americans´ fault.... lots of gays from Mexico City (one with the highest covid cases) travelled this winter Holidays to Puerto Vallarta and other beaches, they are just so selfish that they can only think on self pleasure and not on the people they are affecting
