The Naveganto ferries were also suspended (and the Marinsa ferries.) Car ferry service to Punta Sam was also cancelled due to the weather.

May 31 Due to the rainy, stormy weather in the morning, absenteeism was at 80 to 95 percent in the basic level schools. (Basic level is up to and including middle school.) The primary students are required to be at school by 7am, but at "Andrés Quintana Roo" primary, only five students out of 362 had arrived at that time, according to director, María Elizabeth Tun. However this is expected to improve on Friday.
School absenteeism was higher in the preschool and primary schools, than at the high school and middle school. Many students who travel to Cancun for their higher education had no major problems, because they are out before 6am when taxis are less in demand.
There was also absenteeism in the workplaces, to a lesser degree, and taxis were not readily available before 7am to transport employees to work. Tourism activity was also reduced.

After this is concluded, a total of over 50 million vaccines will have been administered in Mexico.
Packets of oral electrolytes are distributed to mothers of children under five years of age. More than eight million doses of vitamin A will be administered children between the ages of 6 months to 4 years of age in the municipalities at risk, to prevent diarrheal diseases.
Under the supervision of the health personnel in the municipalities of Mexico, there will be more than 18 million doses of 400mg albendazole administered to deworm the population from 2 to 14 years of age.

May 29 Construction has begun to install new lighting along the downtown malecon seaside walkway, which was confirmed by a worker. Holes can be observed for placement of the bases of new light poles. The work began a few days ago and is expected to be completed before July 1st, according to some public servants. In the past, including recent times, there have been ongoing problems with thefts of copper cable that is used for public lighting, which has left areas of the island in darkness.
