Four young men were shot to death in the early hours of Saturday, April 25 in the vicinity of the Chapala cemetery.

“Attention. We are in a national health emergency due to the coronavirus.

The Chapala government has recorded an English-language message that is now blaring out from the loudspeakers of “sound trucks” roaming the municipality to advise residents to stay off the streets and wear face masks during the Covid-19 contingency.

Chapala authorities have turned away thousands of seasonal visitors at roadside checkpoints set up at entry points to the municipality since the first of this month as a measure to help prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus in the community.
