SEPT.2ND
State tourism ministers are going to press for international travelers to be screened for COVID-19.
Mexico’s association of tourism ministers will ask the federal government to implement a policy that requires incoming travelers to present a COVID-19 vaccination certificate or a negative test result.
Oaxaca Tourism Minister Juan Carlos Rivera Castellanos, who heads up the association, said the proposal will be taken to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs next week.
Mexico has never closed its air borders or required incoming travelers to go into mandatory quarantine. The absence of restrictions has been blamed for fueling coronavirus outbreaks in tourism hotspots such as Cancún and Los Cabos.
Rivera said in an interview that the proposal has the support of all state tourism ministers, who believe that the measure will help reduce the spread of the virus in Mexico.
If the federal government approves the proposal, a plan for its execution will have to be developed in conjunction with the Health Ministry, he said. One matter to consider, the minister said, is whether vaccinated travelers will be allowed into the country regardless of the COVID-19 vaccine they received.

‘Pig Beach’, home of eight little pigs in Progreso… Sept.13/2021
Progreso, Yucatan, (September 13, 2021).- Approximately two and a half months ago, a call to the Progreso Ecological Patrol changed the landscape of the beach, as they rescued eight little pigs that now find their home in the area, named Pig Beach in their honor.Melina Uribe Febles, a first officer, says that in the call for help a couple of months ago, they were told that there was a lot of noise from animals in a vacant lot, so the Ecological Patrol went to the area to check what was happening, and instead, they found the mother along with the piglets.
From that moment, the care and attention by the veterinarian began, “at the first moment he carried out the protocols to check the temperature, state of the skin” and, because the mother died, they continued to provide constant check-ups and food to the piglets.
According to the veterinarian’s instructions, even the pigs’ diet has been modified according to their needs, because when they found them “they were miniature” because they were in their first days of life.
Pig Beach is located next to the Hotel Costa Club in Yucalpeten and can be visited from 8 in the morning, where the animals are permanently watched and protected, with routine visits by the specialist.
“The pigs are already living there (Pig Beach) and they are going to stay there,” he said, adding that they have already adapted to the conditions for their survival at the site, where they are visited by 300 people daily, on average. “Every day more people come to the place to interact with them.”
He emphasized the importance of respecting pigs like any other animal, in this case, respecting their times; “If we approach the corral and they are sleeping, we must let them sleep; if they are eating, you have to let them eat ”.
But all people can interact with them, caressing and hugging them, “but if at some point the pig shows that he is uncomfortable or that he prefers to be with his little brothers, we have to respect him,” he continued.
In the same way, he shared that they are allowed to enter the sea, but as long as they show what they want and as long as the weather conditions and state of health of the animals allow it.
“If they don’t want to swim, we respect it and return them to the corral … We have respect for their own decision,” he said, noting that they are still very small animals and that they need to be cared for and protected.
