Locals in the village of said they that alcohol was sold at various tents during the celebration and investigators have been sent to the village to find its source.
Those affected said they suffered from headaches, vomiting and sight loss.
The mayor of Chiconcuautla, another affected community, urged locals not to drink until the source had been found.
“Don’t drink alcohol, we need to identify all the points of sale in the communities and find the adulterated liquor as well as those responsible, Artemio Hernández Garrido posted on Facebook.
He also dismissed rumours that those taken sick had contracted coronavirus. “The deaths are due to adulterated alcohol,” he said.
