Update on flu virus

There has been a lot of speculation about whether it is safe to travel to Mexico. While there are recent cases of influenza in Mexico DF and a few other states, so far Yucatán has no cases of illness. Precautions are being taken to keep it that way, which is why large public gatherings have been temporarily cancelled. Restaurants in Yucatán are open. Archaeological sites, museums, and cinemas in Yucatán are closed until May 6 so far, and we will update you then. Meanwhile, follow the instructions of health officials regarding prevention.
