The proposal, from the Governor of Hidalgo, Omar Fayad, seeks that the Megalopolis does not have a lack of coordination or a different interpretation from the Ministry of Health and the Governors of the states and Mexico City, with respect to what is established by the Secretariat of health." In this period there should be a lot of communication, " Sheinbaum explained.
In addition, at the meeting of the National Confederation of Governors (CONAGO), it was agreed that the Ministry of Health of the government of Mexico will send the states, in writing, the indicators that are used for the construction of the COVID-19 traffic light and send to the states the values observed in these indicators by each federal entity, who will formulate the corresponding comments and observations.
The governors of Tlaxcala and Querétaro declined to join the proposal. The virtual meeting was chaired by Olga Sánchez Cordero. "On Tuesday afternoon, the Ministry of Health sends its assessment according to the technical indicators established, in which traffic light should each of the entities and Mexico City be.
