Mexico sees third wave of Covid-19 with fewer deaths

Mexico is experiencing a third wave of Covid-19, though hospitalisations and fatalities are not rising at the same speed, Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion Hugo Lopez-Gatell said on Tuesday.

He credited the comparatively lower death rate and severity of the outbreak on the vaccination process that began in December.

“There is a rebound, which is the third rebound” of Mexico’s epidemic, said the official, who was accompanied by President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.

Mexico registered its first case of Covid-19 at the end of February 2020, which triggered the first wave of infections. The second occurred at the beginning of this year, following the holidays, the Xinhua news agency reported.
