Coronavirus in Puerto Vallarta: May 9, 2021 Update

As of today, the Federal Government reports a total of 3,762 COVID-19 cases and 408 deaths in Puerto Vallarta since the beginning of the pandemic. This means the city registered nine more cases of COVID-19 and one new death in the past 24-hours, according to the Federal Government.

However, Jalisco reports twice the number of cases that the Federal Government reports for the area. Due to inconstancies in the State of Jalisco updating daily statistics, the number of COVID-19 cases over the last 24-hours in Puerto Vallarta hasn’t been made available at the time of this report. The State has not provided updated COVID-19 information in three days.

Cases in Puerto Vallarta are likely 5-times higher than what is reported. A lack of testing and the federal statistics not taking into consideration private hospitals and laboratories contribute to the underreporting of COVID-19 cases in Puerto Vallarta and nationally throughout Mexico.
