The Mexican government announced that the Mexican border, which runs along the state of Chihuahua, will be a temporary shelter for those migrants that are coming back to Mexico as they will be quarantined for 14 days.

The announced state shelter for the deported migrants will be set up in a few days to house incoming migrants from border cities of Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, Texas. The state government announced that there are about 65 migrants that were deported from the state of Ciudad Juarez every day, and it is now in total of 5,200 as for this year.

It is now expected that the coronavirus will have a huge, enduring and serious effect as it hits Latin America. Consequences include emotional, economical, physical, humanitarian aspects. It was desired before, in early March, that the weather remoteness can control and cast off coronavirus, but sadly after three weeks, cases to cases were positive each day. It left a big impact especially on the business and economy of Latin America. 

Most provinces in Brazil and Ecuador had positive cases, many fear that the positive cases might go up like in Italy. Funds are now out for the crisis and the underlying health conditions.

During this crisis one of the preventive measures that were taken are quarantine, social distancing and limiting the activity of the public. This is to further prevent the transmission of the infectious disease. The United States now has 81,000 cases and Mexico has 585 cases. 

The head of migrant services in the Chihuahua state - Dirvin Garcia Gutierrez announced that officials are now trying to decrease or avoid the crowding in the migrants' temporary home in Ciudad Juarez that is now holding 1,400 people. It is said to be that most of these migrants are from Central America. She also added that the city has 14 shelters that most of them are privately run. The temporary shelters must only hold 50-80 people. 

Most of the countries are now adopting guidelines and protocols that are needed to further minimize the spreading of the infectious disease. Banning the flights, limiting social gatherings, limiting public activities and closing non-essential businesses are now taken into action and will be lifted after the state of health department will lift them.

Allowances and hazard pays are also given to the benefit of the health workers as front liners that are now the number one who battles with the coronavirus. As the medical health professionals; doctors, nurses, pharmacists, medical technologists, are definitely exposing themselves to infectious and contagious diseases that are rapidly increasing, cooperation from the community is highly expected and to be asked for. 

Accepting migrants from the different parts of the world and making them stay in a temporary state in Chihuahua both benefits the peoples' health and their welfare. Safety is a must, as humanity is now having a crisis people are expected to listen and take care of each other.
