What's Happening in Mexico Right Now?

Laura Bronner | Eternal Expat via n.convertkit.com

Hi Mexico-loving friends,

I'm back with some more updates on the happenings around Mexico right now.

With much of Mexico opening back up for tourism, I know many of you are concerned and/or curious about what that means for your favorite towns and cities around the country.

Here are a few recently published videos and articles from around the internet about what changes are happening here in Mexico.

I recently made a quick trip to Puerto Vallarta and shared my experience about what precautions the city is taking. You can watch that video here.

Tangerine Travels recently visited Tulum and made a video about their experience there during the pandemic and what you can expect if you want to head there in the next few months. You can watch that video here.

Last week, 10 states were downgraded from "orange" to "yellow" status based on the fact that their risk levels are lower than they were before. You can read more about what's happening with the different states and what status they currently have here.

A few days ago, the deputy health minister announced that most states in Mexico could likely change to "green" status as soon as October. This would mean everything can be back open with precautions still being taken. You can read more about that in this Mexico News Daily article here.

If you have any further questions or want to know about a specific place in Mexico, please feel free to hit reply and I'll do my best to answer your questions as thoroughly as I can.
