TOURISM GUIDELINES FOR INTERNATIONAL VISITORS UPON THEIR ARRIVAL IN MEXICO
The Ministry of Tourism offers the following guidelines for foreign visitors upon their arrival in Mexico. It is important for you to know that all States are currently operating under an Epidemiologic Risk Assessment (traffic-light system) in order to move towards the “new normal”. Thus, compliance with regulations for the use of public spaces to avoid COVID-19 transmission is enforced through a monitoring system. The traffic-light system is based on four colours:
The traffic-light system is based on four colours:
RED Core economic activities are allowed, including strolling in the area surrounding of your home during the day.
ORANGE In addition to core economic activities, non-essential businesses can run with only 30% of their staff. Maximum precautionary measures must be taken, mainly with people that may be at a higher risk of a severe COVID-19 illness. Outdoor activity centers will be open, allowing only a limited capacity (number of people).
YELLOW All working activities are allowed, with care being taken of people that may be at a higher risk of a severe COVID-19 illness.
