Mexico City mayor resists call for lockdown as hospitals hit 75 percent occupancy
The mayor of Mexico City is resisting calls for a COVID-19-related lockdown in the city as hospitals are filled to 75 percent occupancy this week.
Mexico City Mayor Claudia Sheinbaum has avoided directing a coronavirus shutdown, instead encouraging residents to stay inside as the city has set a record for hospital bed occupancy every day this week, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
Hospitalizations have risen above its spring levels. Before this week, a record of 4,553 hospitalizations occurred on May 22, which was broken again on Dec. 12. The city reported 4,834 hospital beds in use on Tuesday.
