Mexican health officials, doctors and residents along the border with the United States say new outbreaks of COVID-19 are tied to people crossing south over the border.

Residents in Nogales, Sonora erected temporary blockades along roadways leading to Arizona during the initial U.S. coronavirus outbreak in March, telling The Associated Press the Mexican government was doing nothing to medically screen people crossing the border from the United States.

Tijuana, the border town just miles from San Diego and home to tens of thousands of dual citizens, is now second only to Mexico City in infections. The comparatively much smaller city of Tijuana has seen its hospitals swamped with suspected COVID-19 patients as nurses and doctors told Mexican and international news outlets they don't have the protective equipment to protect themselves from coronavirus.

The Trump administration on Tuesday extended strict border policies which cite the spread of coronavirus in order to immediately return undocumented immigrants as well as blocking applications for asylum. All non-commercial,"non-essential" passage has been temporarily blocked, despite complaints from immigration activists arguing in favor of asylum-seekers. CDC officials have said they support the restrictions.

José María Ramos, a professor at the College of the Northern Border in Tijuana, said that Trump's priority appears to be more about halting migration than protecting public health. But Mexican residents say blame for the recent spike in COVID-19 cases should go both ways.
