Coronavirus: Mexico's death toll passes 30,000
Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is eager to restart the country's flagging economy. His government announced a phased plan to lift restrictions in May.
Some non-essential businesses were then allowed to reopen at the start of July in the city, the epicentre of the country's epidemic.Mexico's president has been criticised for reopening the economy too early as cases continue to rise "As we're in an active epidemic, the risk is that as we try to reopen social activities... we may have more infections and the transmission could be maintained or increase," the minister told a news conference.
Most of the Mexican economy was stopped from 23 March, but some industries that were declared key to the functioning of the nation were exempt from the restrictions.
