What's Happening in Mexico Right Now? February 1, 2021

Hi Mexico-loving friends,

And just like that, the first month of the new year is behind us.

Our month in Todos Santos is almost coming to an end even though it feels like we just arrived a few days ago and yet so much has happened.

The Eternal Expat YouTube channel has reached over 10,000 subscribers! This community is growing and I'm so excited to have you all along for this journey. If you're new around here, welcome! If you've been along for the bumpy ride for a while, thank you for your continued support.

If you haven't caught up with all of the Todos Santos videos you can see those here:

• Our $600 a month Casita Tour
• Is Todos Santos Worth the Hype?
• Cost of Living in Mexico in 2021 - Baja California Sur Edition
• THIS is Why We Moved to Todos Santos

What's Happening in Baja California Sur Right Now?

Around mid-January, La Paz and Cabo went backwards in the red-light system. Right now, in Todos Santos and Los Cabos, beaches are still open, as are restaurants and stores. They are at roughly 30% capacity.

Things are slightly stricter in La Paz and Loreto where beaches have a pretty strict capacity. The Malecon is closed in the evenings from 6pm from Thursday to Sunday. Restaurants and bars are still open, but again at roughly 30% capacity.

What's Happening in Other Parts of Mexico Right Now?

13 states in Mexico are currently "red" on the traffic light system. Red basically means that the state is on almost complete lockdown. Those states include Mexico City, México state, Nuevo León, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Morelos, San Luis Potosí, Puebla, Guerrero, Nayarit, and Colima.

They will be on red status for at least two weeks until it can be reassessed.

It's worth noting that these colors and how they are enforced are up to the individual state governments. Some places, like Mexico City, remain on lockdown, but outdoor dining has been permitted. Other places like Jalisco places stricter rulings on places like Guadalajara while somewhere like Puerto Vallarta that relies heavily on tourism will have a different set of rules.

The best thing to do if you have any questions and want the most up-to-date information is to check with local people who are in those areas if you have questions. Start with expat groups that are specific to the areas. You can find these by searching on Facebook and typing, for example, expats in Ensenada or Expats in Puerto Vallarta. Sometimes the groups have different names, but you'll be able to find them pretty easily.

You can also follow bloggers or other people on social media who live there and see what they are sharing about the place they are living.

In Merida, you can follow Anna Faustino and Mexico Cassie.

In Oaxaca, you can follow Lost Boy Memoirs and Brooklyn Tropicali.

For Sayulita and Puerto Vallarta, you can follow PS I'm on my Way and Claire's Itchy Feet.

For Queretaro, you can follow Alex of Backpacking Brunette.

For Mexico City, Ubish Yaren has been making weekly live videos and sharing videos and photos on his Instagram.

Of course, I'm here in Todos Santos and will continue to share what I can about Baja California Sur.

Another great place to keep up to date with news about Mexico in English is Mexico News Daily.

Speak soon,

Laura
