The coronavirus is gaining strength again in Puerto Vallarta and contagions are on the rise; the Secretary of Health asks to take measures to stop the figures.

The Jalisco Ministry of Health published in its daily report of the Jalisco Radar System that last Friday 122 infections were reported, on Saturday there were 105 infections, and on Sunday there were 88 infections and one death.

So far, the month with the highest number of infections is July 2020, with 1,107 positive covid-19 cases, while January 2021 reached 1,050 infections and August 2020 reported 965 infections.
