After months of closing temporary hospital spaces as the coronavirus pandemic receded, Mexico announced Friday it will re-open two temporary wards to handle a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n

The Mexican Social<\/a> Security Institute said the two temporary 30- and 40-bed wards will be opened in covered areas in parking lots of hospitals in the state of Baja California Sur.<\/p>\n

Like the Caribbean cost state of Quintana Roo, Baja California Sur is heavily dependent on tourism and both states have registered increases in case numbers.<\/p>\n

Nationwide, coronavirus cases have rebounded by 14% compared to last week, after months of declines.<\/p>\n

Hospital occupancy nationwide remains at about 17% of capacity, but in some states it has risen to worrisome levels.<\/p>\n

Mexico has recorded over 232,300 test-confirmed COVID-19 deaths, but the government’s own estimates put the real toll at around 360,000.<\/p>\n

Mexico has so far received 51.7 million doses of coronavirus vaccines and has administered 42.8 million doses, for its population of 126 million.\n <\/p>\n\n

Mexico passes 345,000 dead, to start vaccinating ages 50-59\n <\/p><\/div>\n
