Four entities are about to enter the deceleration phase

One of the good news that the health authorities pointed out during their last press conference was that four of the main areas with the highest number of infections throughout the country are about to enter a phase of deceleration. Villahermosa, Cancun, Baja California and Sinaloa have decreased their rate of positive cases in recent years. Similarly, the projection is for Mexico City to begin its respective process on approximately May 20 according to mathematical models.

Center of the country, Pacific and Southeast, the areas with the highest alarm

As for confirmed infections, the central area of ​​the country is the one that most adds up to Mexico City (10 thousand 529), the State of Mexico (6 thousand 540), Morelos (874), and Puebla (thousand 172). These four states are the ones that have had the most total infections so far and also active cases.

However, it is normal for these areas to have these figures for their population number. In cases such as Baja California and Sinaloa, they stand out for their contagion rate, since, even without large cities, they are at the top of the cases accumulated in our country.

For its part, the case fatality rate is one of the largest in the southeast part of the country. Tabasco (242) and Quintana Roo (211) are some of those who have reported the most reported so far, despite not having so many infections.
