As Jalisco opens segments of its economy on Monday, June 1, Governor Enrique Alfaro is warning that the Covid-19 epidemic in the state is far from over.

Phase Zero, the first stage of Jalisco’s gradual reopening of its economy, kicked in last Monday with the start of a two-week period for nonessential businesses to make preparations for opening their doors for the first time since mid-March.

For everyone living in or visiting the state of Jalisco, wearing a face mask in public looks likely to become a regular part of everyday life – at least for the foreseeable future.

A ten-month-old Benagal tiger that was filmed hot-footing down a Tlaquepaque street last week has been impounded by the Environmental Protection Agency (Profepa).

Claiming that he was misunderstood, Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro has clarified that the reopening of the state economy won’t begin until June 1, and that the next two weeks (phase zero as he calls it), will be used for prepping and putting in place protocols for the new normalcy.

The next time Jalisco schoolchildren sit together in a classroom five long months will have passed.
