Zihuatanejo has totalled 214 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 31 confirmed deaths. The IMSS hospital keeps saying it's full.

Seeing more people each day using facemasks, which is encouraging. Streets are still mostly empty, and I believe the total vacation lodging occupancy for Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa is around 20%.

Hopefully the city will have garbage containers placed on the pier soon. It's disappointing to see the folks in the morning leaving styrofoam coffee cups all over the place. Lots of seating and wider landings on the east side are good improvements. So are the solid rooftops, though it takes a while to get used to hearing the birds hopping around on the tin roofs.

Our mayor Jorge Sánchez says he tested negative for Covid-19, a huge relief, but that he is still suffering an undisclosed ailment and is resting for now, so we haven't heard much from him this week. We hope he recovers fully and soon.

How nice to be out on the pier again!

Just because our mayor tested negative for Covid 19 doesn't mean that he doesn't have it as there are quite a large number of false negatives. It depends on how and when the sample was taken.

Yes, that was my thought, too. Another possibility is that he's playing politics and doesn't want to be a statistic that might lead to the closure of our local beaches and businesses again. Can't really blame him for that either.

Rob, each day look for more and more info on the area as I am trying to return to Queretaro in September and we are wanting to come over for a visit. So as I read and understand, as of now, all the beaches are open for people to use?? Also, have you heard of any restrictions the hotels are placing on vacationers?? We are looking at numerous options to stay safe (i.e. doing an Airbnb or with Staysa or Laura in Barra de potosi if they are open) I know it's hard to tell the future but while wanting to make a reservation for a place to know what's going on. Thanks for the help and wishing everyone the best. The Puckett-Padilla's.

Beaches are open. Lodgings will have to reply to you individually as to any restrictions they may have depending on the classification in effect. If we are in Semáforo Naranja or Amarillo there may be some restrictions. Semáforo Rojo is totally closed. Samáfoto Verde means totally open.

Instead of paying a middleman, I recommend renting at Laura's Casa del Encanto or Stasya's Hacienda La Rusa of Barra de Potosí directly through their links here on my website. I'm sure they'll appreciate the extra money.
