From Healthy Distance to the Traffic Light

At the end of May 2020, Mexico ended the Jornada Nacional de Sana Distancia, the national healthy distance campaign against COVID-19. From June 1, activities were to reopen in stages, guided by a semáforo epidemiológico, an epidemiological traffic light based on daily levels of hospital occupancy. (Video in Spanish.)

Hugo López-Gatell, undersecretary for health prevention and promotion, warned: “No piense la ciudadanía que el 1 de junio volvemos a la normalidad” (Citizens should not think that on June 1 we return to normal). The sources differ on the last day of the campaign. Excélsior gives May 30, and El Financiero gives May 31.
