VOICED : Gigantesco mercado de Mexico reduce su intensa actividad para detener a la COVID-19

The Central de Abastos in Mexico City, one of the largest wholesale markets globally, faced significant challenges due to COVID-19. With over 450 positive cases detected, the market implemented measures such as partial closures for cleaning and disinfection. These actions aimed to ensure safety for the reduced number of visitors. The pandemic severely impacted sales, dropping by 70-80%. Health protocols were established, including widespread testing for workers and locals. Despite these efforts, only a small percentage of the workforce was tested, and safety concerns persisted due to inconsistent mask usage. As of the report, Mexico had over 129,000 COVID-19 cases and more than 15,300 deaths.
