Mexico Report

Mexico is one of the countries that has been hardest hit by the coronavirus crisis. According to Reuters, at least 1.7 million people in the country had already died from or with the virus by December 2020, and nearly 79 million had been infected. These figures differ significantly from the official figures of the Mexican government – as of 5 May 2021, the official numbers were 2,349,900 confirmed infections and 217,345 deaths, though a government report on excess mortality, issued by the health ministry, estimated nearly 120,000 uncounted victims of COVID-19.
