Cancun, Riviera Maya Region Drop Mask Mandate

The Mexican state of Quintana Roo has completely eliminated its mask mandate after cases of COVID-19 have dwindled and no deaths have occurred for five weeks.

The governor recommended people with medical conditions should continue to wear a mask and that it was a good idea to still wear a mask on public transport and indoors where there was not a lot of ventilation.

Joaquin also noted that the mask mandate could be reintroduced if the situation warranted.

"Remember, [the use of] face masks is a personal responsibility. Use one if you believe you could be exposed ... to COVID," he said.
