CDMX is allowed to open for shops in the mall; Opening of shopping centers in Edomex

Mexico City remains under the red light due to COVID, but hospitalizations maintain a downward trend for the third week. For this reason, the government will allow all businesses regardless of the shift to open in the city center, although it will have to serve its customers outdoors: on the street or at the company’s door.

Eduardo Clark The general manager of the digital agency explained that the companies will be able to attend from Tuesday to Saturday until five in the afternoon. Although there will be no interest in the institutions’ interior, the use of face masks and anti-bacterial gel for clients should be maintained and a healthy distance should be maintained.

He added that the opening of shopping centers has been postponed until February 8 in order not to change the decrease in hospitalizations that were recorded in the past three weeks.

Clark explained that the hospital’s total occupancy is 86.87% and hospital admission this week was 4,399, which is 5% less than previous weeks with hospital admissions above 4,400.

This trend was also recorded in the metropolitan area in the Valley of Mexico, where 10 days ago it hit a low of 9,851.
