People wait in line along the street before entering the area where stores are open, during the gradual reopening of commercial activities in the city, as the coronavirus disease outbreak continues, in Mexico City, Mexico, on Jul 6, 2020. MEXICO CITY: Mexico's death toll from the coronavirus pandemic is poised to overtake Italy's and shoot above 35,000 on Sunday , with the Latin American nation set to post the world's fourth highest deaths total, according to Reuters data.

Mexican authorities have gradually raised the projections of total fatalities and as recently as June forecast up to 35,000 deaths through October. In early May, the estimate was 6,000. But Mexican officials say the true toll is likely much higher due to limited testing. A Reuters analysis of funeral homes data in May indicated a toll more than double the reported figures.Hugo Lopez-Gatell, Mexico's deputy health minister and coronavirus czar, this week said the virus was"slowing down".
