The United States further extends Canada and Mexico land-border restrictions

The United States first imposed land-borders restrictions for Canada and Mexico in mid March following the global Coronavirus outbreak. And as these restrictions were supposed to to come to an end today on Wednesday May 20, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday confirmed they will further extend the land-border restrictions and prohibit any non-essential cross-border travelling by another month starting today, until June 22.

This is an important decision that will keep people in both of our countries safe, said Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

COVID-19 deaths in Mexico is reportedly three times more than the official numbers

According to the Mexicans Against Corruption and Impunity, civil society (Mexico's anti-corruption group) the official numbers of COVID-19 deaths announced by the country's federal government is reportedly three times lower than the real data. The government officially announced only 1332 confirmed deaths in the Mexico City ever since the Coronavirus outbreak started, which is now under question as the registry for death certificates claims 4577 deaths in which doctors have mentioned COVID-19 as a "possible" or "probable" cause of death. The certificates also included the words like "SARS," "COV2," "COV," "COVID 19," or "new Coronavirus," where the technical name for novel Coronavirus is "SARS-CoV-2."
