Health Alert – U.S. Embassy Mexico City, Mexico

Event:  Mexico COVID-19 Update (April 6, 2020)

On April 3, Mexican Tourism and Health officials instructed hotels to cancel new and existing reservations and close for non-essential business.  All accommodation services, including hotels, hostels, online platforms, and travel agencies will cease receiving reservations and will reschedule all reservations.  Guests who require accommodation due to essential business activities are permitted to stay in hotels with a maximum occupancy of 15 percent.  Non-resident foreign citizens currently in hotel accommodation must begin the process of returning home immediately.  If a person starts showing respiratory symptoms, health officials must be notified immediately.  As a reminder, the U.S. government does not pay for lodging or other expenses incurred due to travel disruptions abroad.

This action is INSANE.  This won't protect the Mexican people because they are ALREADY infected.  We should kick out all 20 million illegals out of the USA, just on PRINCIPLE.

Yeah I'm just the messenger.

I read that in my email that I still get, even though I chose to relocate over here to Vietnam. instead.

That's what I had planned to do: find a nice little tourist class hotel somewhere and live an uncomplicated life.

Shuttle back and forth to Southern California.

I'm really glad I didn't make that choice now.

Instead I have a sweet apartment in a beach town in Vietnam and I don't have to do anything until September 1st.

I hope they don't try to kick somebody out who doesn't have anywhere to go in their native country.

Even though it was in the email from the US Embassy, it applies to all foreigners.

Sad.

Yes pretty much, the hotels in Merida are closed, the restaurants are closed with only limited take out available, and the police will have many questions for you especially if you are not a resident of Merida. You might also get at least one temperature check. The gas stations have limited or closed their bathrooms, although I found if you buy gas they might open them.

In Campeche almost all restaurants are closed, the mall is closed and all but essential stores are closed. You cannot sit in the park. The banks are of course open but they restrict how many people can be in them. The markets are open and fortunately don't have the extreme security some of the Merida markets have.

People can not be in groups anywhere unless it seems they are in the upper levels of government in the U.S. and here.
People, especially the police seem to think it's an old persons virus so they really focus on anyone over 40. A lack of valid real information is common. Somehow they missed the frail or sick part of the story. I could give a two-hour lecture on that but I won't :D

I'm in Colombia right now and I was thinking of coming to Mexico then the USA but due to the virus I decided to rent an apartment temporary. I wouldn't be desperately looking forward to o be int he USA right now even if the government give me the chance to do it. This country is not prepared for the pandemia and the  virus is spreading so fast!  Please Think twice! guys . If you have money to pay for the long stay then find a room or temporary place... Until this horrible situation is over... Here in Colombia is not that bad... They are taking care and giving people financial aid and quarantine is kept.
Hope you can stay safe in Mexico as long as this virus is going around.
Think twice! Don't go to NYC IS THE EPICENTER ... AGAIN STAY AWAY FROM AMERICA AS MUCH AS YOU CAN...

Well, they have guidance from epidemiologists an your  comment is based on, what?  your bigoted comment toward people in the U.S. who are not in any way involved in the decision making processes mind-boggling.

Who are you talking to?  and what are you talking about? I don't see any bigoted comments. Perhaps you can highlight them.

The original message is in fact old news now. The restrictions are easing in many places. In order to know what is happening you have to check pretty much every day.
