Several states in Mexico have started to enforce mandatory face masks to prevent the spread of measles, especially after a recent outbreak.
A year after the first case of a new measles outbreak was confirmed in Mexico, various states have initiated the mandatory use of face masks in specific areas to control the disease's spread. David Kershenobich, the head of the federal Health Secretariat, has emphasized that wearing masks is recommended for specific population sectors, particularly those who have been in contact with individuals diagnosed with the viral illness. This preventive measure is viewed as an essential addition to existing health protocols.
