As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,167 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (5 more than yesterday), 175 that have resulted in fatalities, 23 that are currently active, and approximately 1,827 that have recovered. Zihuatanejo currently has 8 patients hospitalized with Covid-19. Only about 25% of the available Covid-19 outfitted hospital beds in the state are currently occupied, and only about 17% of the beds with ventilators. Well below the national average.

Vaccinations are currently taking place in Acapulco, so I expect we will begin receiving ours soon.

For those of you who listen to Zona Libre with Sergio Vázquez Rosas in the mornings, he had a relapse and was hospitalized again, but it is my understanding he is responding well and recovering. We certainly wish him a full and prompt recovery after all he's been through, and we look forward to his return to his morning talk show.
