Mexico drops Covid-19 emergency status

Friday, 10 May, 2023 0

Mexico has officially ended the Covid-19 heath emergency.

The Undersecretary for Prevention and Health Promotion Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez announced the end in line with last week’s declaration by the World Health Organization.

“These characteristics are fulfilled in Mexico. In fact, they have been fulfilled for several months,” he said.

“The President has signed a decree that puts an end to the validity of the original decree of March 2020.”

Mexico is now implementing a Covid-19 management plan, comprising monitoring and alert systems.

It will also integrate vaccinations into general health plans.

The National Population Registry said the pandemic claimed nearly 334,000 ‘excess deaths.’

More than 7.5 million cases were reported between 2020 and 2022.

The declaration has little impact on inbound tourism.

It had one of the fastest recovering tourism industries due to relaxed protocols.

In fact, it never fully closed its borders.

It recovered to 38.3 million tourist arrivals in 2022.

It is expected to reach nearly 40 million by the end of 2023.
