Mexico will suspend all large public and private gatherings for a month as it attempts to contain the spread of coronavirus, while extending support to small businesses, government officials said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a regular news briefing, Deputy Health Minister Hugo Lopez-Gatell said Mexico has seen an increase in non-imported coronavirus cases and the government will step up mitigation measures.
“We have decided to temporarily suspend events with 100 people or more,” Lopez-Gatell said. “All gatherings - public, private, governmental, social - must be avoided throughout the month.”
