Claudia Sheinbaum, the mayor of Mexico City, said the Mexican capital will lift restrictions on car traffic and public transport next week, and allow 340,000 factory workers to get back on the job under strict sanitary conditions.
Sheinbaum said that street markets, malls, restaurants and churches could reopen a week later, but at reduced capacity.
The announcement came as the health ministry reported a record 5,222 new confirmed coronavirus infections, along with 504 new deaths. Total confirmed cases now number 139,196 and total deaths are at almost 16,450. Both are considered substantial undercounts due to very limited testing.
