Mexico City, July 31 (RHC)-- In Mexico, coronavirus deaths have topped 45,000. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador continues to resist calls for a mask mandate, even as his government’s health ministers urged Mexicans to cover their faces to stop the spread of the disease.
Health Minister Hugo López-Gatell Ramírez: “The Mexican government, as I announced this morning, recommends the use of face masks. But, we’ve also been very clear -- and when the explanation comes some people get upset -- that we’re not going to make it an obligatory measure from the Mexican government.”
