Yes, it is safe to travel to Mexico, but it is not in the best interest of Mexicans for Americans to cross the border. Mexico has eight confirmed cases from individuals who traveled to Italy and zero deaths. The United States has 1,000 cases, and 30 people have died from the disease. Spring break is just around the corner, causing Americans to travel to Mexico and bring the virus into the country. The individuals learned the infection came from the same source when they went to Italy in February. The family members of these individuals are quarantined and have not tested positive. As these men have recuperated from the disease, there is potential that other people flying into the country could cause others to be infected. President Trump suggested closing the border to prevent the disease from entering the United States, but health experts are apprehensive the disease could move into Mexico. As always, be cautious to clean your hands and best not to travel if you are ill. Best to be safe than sorry. Safe travels everyone!
