Mexico’s Quintana Roo Reports No Cases of Influenza A

The Secretary of Tourism of Quintana Roo (Sedetur) reports that based on data provided by the Ministry of Health there have been no reports of any cases of influenza A in the tourist destinations in Quintana Roo.

Despite the increase in the alert phase from four to five issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), the tourism industry has extreme health measures in all hotels, restaurants and shops of the tourist corridor in the Mexican Caribbean.

The tourism secretariat indicates that, starting April 30, Cancun International Airport will be provided with infrared thermometers, which measure the temperature of all passengers entering and leaving the destination.

This is in order to strengthen the preventive measures implemented in the state. Airport authorities reported that these thermometers measure temperature without physical contact with the passenger and that these actions will allow the detection of the main symptoms of the virus.
