Hope you're right. One mask vs both people wearing one makes a difference.

People on the beach don't worry me in the least. They'll get back on their bus and leave Zihuatanejo at the end of the day. Anyone staying at any local hotel must wear a facemask everywhere except the pool and beach. I don't have any problem with that.

Not good enough!
Only wearing one when told to do so and most likely pulling it back down when the authorities have left is not how people stay healthy. With the Christmas and New Years holiday coming, late January may have alarming increases of Covid in Zihuatanejo.

No, they take their Covid-19 back with them to wherever they came from. The locals who deal with tourists take the necessary health precautions. The past holidays and weekends resulted in minor, almost undetectable blips in the local Covid-19 stats. Go back and read the daily reports. I was waiting for the spikes that never happened. Día de la Independencia y Dia de la Revolución. No pasó nada.

Again, I spoke maybe a little to soon. At 10:38 there were three Police or Policía Federal walking in the beach area. Of course I can not hear them on the webcam but as they walked past people the people were pulling up their face masks. It was awesome to see this. There is Hope.....

Thank you for such a nice photo and music. By taking a look at the web cam LaRopa II anyone can see that the % of those practicing distance or wearing a mask is less than 10%. Not a good sign for what is to come. Kids playing in the water or swimming I can understand but the parents and other adults need to change their ways.

As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,558 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 124 that have resulted in fatalities, 2 that are currently active, and approximately 1,327 that have recovered. Things are looking very good here in Zihuatanejo.

Both Mexico City and the State of Mexico will be going to Semáforo Rojo starting tomorrow. It was inevitable with the continuing rise in hospitalizations in many of their communities. A real shame for all the millions of people who will be negatively affected. No doubt many of them will be flocking to the coast for their vacations. No time for us to let our guard up locally.

I can't imagine more perfect weather. The only thing missing are brief late afternoon showers. There's even a lovely breeze right out of the sierra now, no doubt bringing cooler air from the north. Maybe it'll even get to 20°C tonight. Gonna have to cuddle with my sweetie to keep warm. Maybe drink a little tequila, too. Yeah, that's the ticket...

Many of our charter boats offer whalewatching excursions. Now is a great time of year to do so. See my recommendations for reliable tours.
