Jalisco readies total shutdown plan if COVID-19 cases continue to rise

The governor announced an "Emergency Button" plan that could stop activities in Jalisco if the growth of cases of the new coronavirus continues in the state.

In a message through social networks, after the meeting of the Economic Reactivation Commission, the Jalisco governor warned that it is up to all citizens to prevent the activation of the plan.

There are two criteria that will be evaluated for activating the emergency button: saturation of the hospital system of 50 percent and weekly incidence rate of 400 infections per million inhabitants, by date of onset of symptoms . . .
