In the last seven days, Mexico reported 6,165 new cases and 51 deaths from COVID-19.
According to the weekly technical report of the Ministry of Health, as of this Tuesday, November 22, Mexico accumulates 7,125,098 positive cases and 330,495 deaths due to the virus since the beginning of the pandemic.
Active cases of COVID continue to rise in Mexico, and to this day 6,541 have been detected, an increase of 1,356 infections, which are found predominantly in the following entities: Yucatán, Quintana Roo, Mexico City, Chihuahua, Baja California, Campeche, Sonora, Baja California Sur, Colima, and San Luis Potosí.
In the last two weeks, there was an increase of 2,832 active cases of COVID, from 3,709 to 6,541.
Active cases are considered to be those positive who started symptoms in the last 14 days, allowing to identify where there is greater viral activity and an increase in virus transmission.
Regarding confirmed COVID cases accumulated by state, the first 10 entities that accumulate the highest number of cases are Mexico City, State of Mexico, Nuevo León, Guanajuato, Jalisco, San Luis Potosí, Veracruz, Tabasco, Puebla, and Sonora, which together they make up 64 percent of all accumulated cases registered in the country.
Mexico City continues as the entity with the most active cases of COVID in the country, and unlike previous weeks, it had a notable increase in terms of active cases, going from 1,193 to 1,453, an increase of 260 cases.
Another entity where active cases skyrocketed was Yucatán, which accumulates 641 active cases and exceeds the rest of the country’s states without counting the capital.
No entity in the country has more than 450 active cases of COVID at the cutoff of this day, with the State of Mexico, Chihuahua, Quintana Roo, and Baja California being the states with the most infections reported in the last 14 days without counting to the capital of the country.
Cases are likely higher than those reported because Mexico does not include COVID cases diagnosed in private hospitals, laboratories, or pharmacy medical consultations that make up most of the healthcare in Mexico. Mexico only reports cases diagnosed in the public health system and COVID tests diagnosed at government healthcare laboratories. It’s estimated that cases in Mexico are at least five-times higher than the numbers reported by the government.
