In August, Mike Ryan, director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Health Emergencies Depart-ment, pointed out that the magnitude of the COVID-19 pandemic could be underestimated in Mexico due to the low number of tests carried out.
In recent weeks, Mexico became one of the countries with the most cases of COVID-19 worldwide with at least more than half a million cases of contagion (sixth place) and, by mid-August, one of those with the highest mortality rates (third place), with more than 50 thousand dead.
In April, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) presented his fifth quarterly report. Facing the COVID-19 pandemic, he reported that this year there will be 22 million beneficiaries of the different social programs and that in nine months two million new jobs will be created, among others by the Sembrando Vida (Sowing Life) program.
September marked three months since the governments of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) and Donald Trump reached an agreement in which Mexico undertook measures to lower the level of migration that crosses its territory to reach the United States.
Both during the electoral campaign and after his victory in 2018, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (AMLO) promised a great transformation of Mexico.
