Mexican officials are not exerting enough measures to contain the virus. Also, they are still unprepared in case an outbreak occurs. This is true regardless of a warning given from the previous week by the deputy health minister. The warning says there is a possibility of a widespread outbreak of the dangerous COVID-19 virus. Additionally, community transmission can start in a few weeks.

What will happen to Mexico?

When the outbreak happens, there is a possibility that Mexico will deteriorate rapidly. Upon the happening of the outbreak, it is highly certain that the entire country will get affected. It will affect the Mexican economy and will probably crumble the already struggling Mexican government.

As of Saturday, there is a total of 41 confirmed COVID-19 cases in Mexico. The deadly disease first reached the country in February. A month after the dangerous disease was detected in the United States of America.

There is a chance of the novel coronavirus infecting more all over the country. The ABC Hospital's head of internal medicine Francisco Moreno Sanchez stated last week that there is a possibility of more COVID-19 cases in Mexico and the Mexican government is receiving that risk lightly. According to Sanchez, the effects of an undetected outbreak will be a brutal one.

Taking the Threats Lightly

Despite the possible threats of an outbreak of the COVID-19 in the country, the government seems to be taking it lightly.

 In the previous week, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador had been surrounded by his supporters at the Hermosillo airport before he flew to Acapulco. He was about to speak at a banker's conference. He will then hold a series of campaign-style rallies in the area.

Recently, the Mexican president had been making statements that dismiss the need for caution involving the COVID-19. He even encourages hugging, saying nothing will happen with the gesture.

Taking His Advice

The Mexican president had been seen taking his advice in a video circulating social media. The video had been on social media over the weekend. It showed the president kissing and embracing his supporters during a rally. He even claimed that the worries caused by the pandemic will not do anything to them.

All of the totals confirmed cases of the COVID-19 in Mexico had come from Spain, Italy, and the United States. However, the Mexican president did not yet order any international travel bans. Also, he did not take any measures to tighten the security at the US-Mexican border.
