So far there are 1,733,089 recovered patients and 695,667 people already have the complete vaccination scheme against COVID-19
Dr. Gabriela del Carmen Nucamendi Cervantes, Director of Epidemiological Surveillance of Noncommunicable Diseases, reported that this March 20 there are already 197,827 confirmed deaths and 2,193,639 accumulated cases in Mexico due to COVID-19. However, in the last 24 hours, there were 613 deaths and 5,722 new infections.
Likewise, from the National Palace, he announced that the curve of estimated cases presented a decrease of 2% with respect to the immediately previous week, that is, from week eight to week nine of 2021. This percentage is much lower than that registered in previous weeks, “it presents with a much smaller decrease.”
They also counted 1,733,089 recovered patients and on the other hand, 695,667 people with a complete vaccination scheme are registered.
The specialist estimated that at the national level, 37,468 active infections are calculated (with a start date of the last 14 days due to the positivity index, by entity and epidemiological week), so if they do not comply with the proper isolation and all the sanitary measures, could potentially contribute to the transmission of the new disease.

In counterpart are Colima, Chiapas and Campeche, which concentrate the least amount of active cases, as they barely reach 119, 96, and 81 infections of this type, respectively.
