Mexican Companies Give their Share of Support During the Pandemic
Since the start of June, some parts of Mexico have been permitted by the government to reopen, as reported in an article. Thus far, the government had allowed automotive manufacturing, mining, and construction companies to reopen, said the report. This means that more Mexicans working in these sectors would be getting their paychecks again soon.
Operations of businesses that were deemed non-essential have been temporarily postponed by the Mexican government on March 23 as the novel coronavirus spread across the country.
Presently, an article reported that Cancun, Tallum, and Riviera Maya will be open for international guests this week. The reopening of tourist spots in the country for foreign travelers is now permitted.
Despite the coronavirus still present in the country, its government plans to adjust how businesses operate and some parts of many people's lifestyles to meet COVID-19 preventive measures. There will be frequent cleaning sanitation of places where people often go and people will be seen wearing their face masks as they go outdoors.
As the country is still struggling to win against the novel coronavirus, many industries across the country are providing help and support for Mexico to adjust to the 'new normal' brought by the deadly pandemic. Here are a few of them:
Health care Sector
The country had seen the great contribution of the health care sector in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. They are the ones who had helped prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, by taking care of patients and preventing transmission of the deadly virus.
Those who are part of this sector had also provided the country some assistance through financial and in-kind donations. For example, an article reveals that Amgen had given financial donations to FunSalud and the Mexican Red Cross. Sanitizers and protective masks were also donated by Bayer to prevent COVID-19 transmission and infection. Puritan Bennett ventilators were also donated by Medtronic to help patients who have severe cases of COVID-19.
Automotive Manufacturing Sector
Many businesses that operated in the country had postponed their operations during the quarantine orders by Mexico. As of the moment, they are slowing getting back to operations.
Moreover, companies under this sector had also provided help for the country's battle against the novel coronavirus. An article reveals that aside from providing personal protective equipment for their employees, Nissan had also donated tens of thousands of personal protective equipment for communities.

The Food and Beverage Sector
Many businesses from the food and beverage sector are using their expertise at making meals for front line workers. For example, Alsea had provided packed lunches for much medical staff working in the country.
The Accommodation Sector
Various accommodation sector companies are also helping by offering free or discounted accommodations for those who work as a front line staff against the novel coronavirus.
