CIUDAD DE MEXICO – The government of Yucatan is recognized nationally and internationally as one of the states that has done the most to mitigate and confront the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has implemented actions and agreements to safeguard the integrity of its inhabitants, as well as work, health, economy, and education, among others.
Unlike other places in the Mexican Republic, Yucatan has implemented the eight measures suggested by international organizations, which has allowed Yucatan a more effective management, on time, and with enormous scope, according to the list of Regulatory Responses to the COVID-19 Epidemic as published by the federal government.
