Mexico recorded 4,410 new cases of Covid-19 on Saturday, bringing the total case count for the country to 212,802.
There were also 602 additional deaths on Saturday, bringing the country’s death toll to 26,381.
Speaking at a news conference on Saturday, Deputy Health Secretary Hugo López-Gatell, who leads Mexico's Covid-19 response, said that despite encouraging data from some states that are gradually reopening their economic activities, there’s always a risk coronavirus cases might go up again.
“We are not exempt from the fact there can be an uptick in the outbreak anywhere in the country. It can happen, it happened in other countries,” López-Gatell said.
In a video posted to his Twitter page Saturday evening, Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said, "It was a tough week because we do not just continue suffering from the pandemic, which is gradually going down, but also the earthquake, and yesterday's attack against Mexico City Police Chief Omar García Harfuch. We need to move forward so things can get better."
Mexico is the country with the fourth highest number of Covid-19 cases in Latin America, after Brazil, Peru and Chile.
