The COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico appears to be abating after spiking in January and February 2021. The notable improvement in epidemiological conditions has prompted the federal government and local governments to gradually ease restrictive orders in accordance with the four-tiered traffic light monitoring system, which is updated every other week.
In the March 1–14, 2021, monitoring report,
none of the states are in red traffic light status the strictest status for the first time since the September 27–October 11, 2020, report. Ten states are now in orange status, the second-most restrictive tier; 20 states are in yellow status; and 2 states are in green status, the point at which activities are allowed without restriction.

As of January 18, 2021, the number of positive COVID-19 cases recorded in Mexico since the pandemic began had risen to nearly 1.65 million, up from 1.45 million two weeks earlier. Some areas of Mexico have higher infection rates and hospitalizations than others, in part due to population density and access to medicine and care. As a result, 10 states are now designated in the color red indicative of the highest risk level of pandemic spread according to Mexico’s traffic light COVID-19 alert system up from 5 states for the previous alert period.
Mexico’s traffic light monitoring system, which is updated every other week, was implemented in June 2020 to alert residents to the epidemiological risks of COVID-19 and provide guidance on restrictions on certain activities in each of the country’s states. Below is a map for the period for January 18–31, 2021, indicating the COVID-19 risk level in each of the states.
