Despite the soaring figures, Mexico’s coronavirus czar, Hugo Lopez-Gatell, said the pandemic was “slowing.” The government has said the real number of infected people and deaths is likely significantly higher than the confirmed numbers due to low levels of testing. “The epidemic in Mexico is slowing down,” he said, adding that the velocity of the spread was decreasing.
