(CNN) – The Chancellery of Mexico announces travel restriction measures on its northern and southern fronts.
“To prevent the propaganda of covid-19, Mexico imposes from March 19, 2021 restrictions on land transit for activities not essential in its northern and southern front”, said the jueves the Secretariat for Exterior Relations on Twitter.
“Additionally, the Governor of Mexico will seek sanitation control measures in the north and in the country.”

Following the announcement, the frontier restrictions will be lifted until April 21st.
The decision to restrict frontier routes is being produced when the United States sends a number of migrants crossing the border from Mexico.
United States, on the northern front, and Guatemala, in the south, have been affected by the travel restrictions since the pandemic began. Guatemala also imposed a travel ban on Mexico in February and demanded a negative result for the covid-19 test results.
