This is the latest COVID-19 update from the Governor of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. We are grateful for the Governor and the Mayor’s diligence in this ever-important matter. From the beginning, they have been mindful of what must be done to keep us all safe. We hope this careful staging of reintroduction is successful. The government in Jalisco has implemented a phased approach to reopening. Their focus is on public health while slowly restoring economic activity.
Message from Governor
On May 14, 2020, Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro Ramírez announced the state will enter Phase 0 of its COVID-19 plan. Social distancing and face masks remain mandatory, while stores and non-essential businesses can operate at 50% capacity. Select businesses meeting crowd control and social distancing guidelines may also reopen.
Beaches, public spaces, shopping malls, bars, and nightclubs will remain closed. Restaurants and cafes that commit to applying established sanitation and safety protocols may operate at 50 percent of their capacity.
Hotel services, such as swimming pools, bars, gyms, and private beaches, are currently suspended. Cleaning and disease prevention measures are in effect at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the cruise port, public transportation, supermarkets, and limited government services. Local authorities are collaborating with the travel sector to implement updated recovery protocols. We encourage everyone to follow health guidelines and recommendations.
