Given the escalating number of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths in the state, Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro decreed new emergency restrictions and closures to run from January 16 through January 31.
The key measures are:
• All leisure activities to cease, including social and cultural activities (indoor and outdoor) and religious services.
• To close: cinemas, casinos, gyms, parks, plazas, bars, nightclubs, sports clubs, museums, natural protected zones (Primavera, Nevado de Colima), zoos, government offices (except for tax payment windows).
• Employees of “corporate offices and professional services” must work from home or remotely.
• Restricted access: All supermarkets, stores, tianguis and shopping “corridors” are limited to one person per visit, with no “older adults” (over 60s) or children allowed.
• Restaurants to operate to 50-percent capacity, closing at 10 p.m.
• Commercial mall parking space reduced to 25 percent.
• Beaches open from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Schools will not reopen for in-person classes on January 25, as announced tentatively last month.
