For the first time since Mexico’s federal government rolled out its pandemic monitoring system in June 2020, all of the nation’s thirty-two states have been given the green light to conduct social and business activities without restriction, although face masks are still required while using public transportation.
The biweekly four-tiered monitoring system is used to alert residents to the epidemiological risks of COVID-19 and provide guidance on restrictions on certain activities in each of the country’s states.
Each state may designate its own traffic light status, from green (all activities allowed) through red (only essential activities allowed). The vast majority of states have assigned statewide green status. Puebla, however, has designated five of its six regions in yellow status (medium risk), and Region 3, seat of the state’s capital, Puebla, in orange status (high risk). Veracruz has assigned the majority of its municipalities green light status, but it has assigned red light status to two coastal municipalities.
Below is a map for the period of March 21, 2022, through April 3, 2022, indicating the COVID-19 risk level in each of the states and the capital.
This chart presents the traffic light status of each state, and, as applicable, variations between federal and local traffic light statuses based on publications of the federal Ministry of Health and status reports provided by each state.
