Mexico is likely to surpass 300 000 deaths from COVID-19 this week – the fifth highest death toll worldwide – as infections rise after the holiday season, fuelled by the Omicron coronavirus variant and largely unrestricted tourism.

Infections have more than doubled to 20 000 during the last week when many tourists visited Mexico from the United States and Canada.

The arrival of the highly contagious Omicron variant reversed a downturn in infections during the autumn, when the widespread application of vaccines provided relief.“Since December, a lot of people started to go out and there are many who no longer wear face masks,” said Isauro Perez, a 53-year-old taxi driver in Mexico City. “If we don’t take care of ourselves, the government won’t take care of us.

Mexico has the highest fatality rate – deaths per confirmed cases – among the 20 nations most affected by COVID-19 worldwide, according to an analysis by Johns Hopkins University.
