Although Puerto Vallarta never enforced the mask mandate in Jalisco, the Governor of Jalisco announced that the use of face masks in open and closed spaces is eliminated in the State and it will only be mandatory for people who board public transport units and who attend hospitals and clinics to use it.

Through a message that he issued on his social networks, the state governor stressed that the measure will be published in the Official Newspaper El Estado de Jalisco, with which it will come into force.

“We have made this decision because, like everyone else, we understand the fatigue that two years of restrictions has meant, but we also do it with a call to maintain attention to what is happening in terms of health in Mexico and the world will no longer let its guard down,” he said.

Dropping the mask mandate was decided after the numbers of infections and deaths from COVID-19 were analyzed, which have decreased significantly in the State in recent weeks.

“Today we have 59 cases per day, on average, when in the last two years we had 819 cases” per day.
