Zihuatanejo currently registers 406 active cases of Covid-19 while both Petatlán and La Unión register 11 active cases each. Since almost everyone here knows several people currently ill with the virus, we must assume the official numbers are way low.

The local government cracked down on local bus drivers to wear facemasks and practice safe hygiene protocols, but really does nothing more than nag visitors, which doesn't change their behavior, though they posted photos of local city workers (who may not be vaccinated themselves) spraying "disinfectant" on tourist buses, which IMHO is just a propaganda show. We either want tourists to come or we don't (a lot of locals don't want tourists at the moment), but I feel our local and state governments aren't sending clear signals nor applying meaningful policies.

Still seeing way too many tourists not using facemasks around other people, including a group of young foreigners I've seen walking around quite a bit lately drawing lots of attention to themselves.

Keep an eye on that tropical disturbance forming up off our coast. It could throw quite a but of wind and water at us.
