MESSAGE FROM THE AMERICAN CONSULATE ! 2020 Mexican National Census ... The Mexican National Institute of Statistics, Geography, and Information (INEGI) will conduct a nationwide housing and population census starting March 2 and ending March 27. Credentialed census takers will visit homes door to door to conduct the census and ask residents questions such as their age and sex, their first names, their place of birth, and the number of rooms in the dwelling. The Mexican government requests that all residents in Mexico participate in the census and provide the information requested when a credentialed census taker visits their home. As in the United States, census information may not be used for other purposes. Keep in mind that the census could serve as an opportunity for criminals to attempt to gain your trust and gain access to your residence under the guise of being a census taker. Legitimate credentialed census takers will be wearing a logo vest, hat, and backpack and carrying a credential with a hologram. The credential number and photo of the census taker can be verified through the 2020 census website: https://censo2020.mx/. According to Mexican authorities, there have been reports of imposters claiming to be INEGI representatives to gain access to homes to commit robbery or fraud. If in doubt, remember: Request and verify the census takers credentials on the INEGI website. Residents do not have to invite census takers into their homes. Keep your distance and answer questions outside. You don’t need to sign anything. You don’t need to show identification.

Health Alert U.S. Embassy Mexico City, Mexico (March 30, 2020) Location: Mexico Event: Mexico COVID-19 Update (March 30, 2020)... As of March 30, the Mexican Ministry of Health confirmed 1,094 cases of COVID-19 within its borders. The Department of State issued a Global Level 4 Health Advisory for COVID-19 on March 19. U.S. citizens who normally reside in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. Commercial carriers have significantly reduced the number of flights between Mexico and the United States. If your travel has been disrupted, please contact your airline. The government of Mexico has implemented nationwide measures to limit the spread of COVID-19. On March 26, the Mexican government suspended all but essential activities. Schools and universities are closed until April 19. Gatherings larger than 100 people have been banned. High-risk persons, including the elderly and those with relevant medical conditions, are directed to avoid workplaces, public spaces, or any other location with crowds. Public sector, private sector, and social activities and events involving physical gathering, transit, or trips are suspended unless essential to address the crisis. Closings and restrictions on public gatherings, transportation, business operations, and government operations may vary by state and municipality. Authorities in the state of Nuevo Leon, for example, are conducting mandatory health screening of travelers arriving from the United States. At the moment, this affects primarily passenger buses, but could be expanded to other modes of transport. Travelers should expect significant delays and face the possibility of being forced to return to the United States or being kept in quarantine in Mexico Mexican Immigration (INM) continues to provide law enforcement and public counter services across Mexico. However, due to reduced staffing, members of the public might experience long wait times for routine services. INM recommends monitoring their website and twitter account for information about their current operating status. U.S. citizens in Mexico with specific questions about their immigration status should contact local immigration authorities for information.
