The municipality of Isla Mujeres continues to report a total of 54 positives with 3 deaths and 25 recovered.

The Federal site (which is presumably showing yesterday's data now at midday) reports 54 confirmed, with 3 deaths, 4 suspected, and 33 negatives.  LINK  

The State site, showing data for July 16 of the active cases colonia-by-colonia indicates 4 downtown, 1 in Chica Salina, 4 in Amp la Gloria, 2 in Canotal, 2 in La Gloria, 1 in Guadalupana and none on the mainland. It says our municipality's Incidence Rate is 6.67.


The first case in the state was in Cancun on Friday, March 13, and the first case in Isla Mujeres was April 4th. Yesterday, we completed Week 18 with a total of 54 cases. With APIQRoo reporting about 2000 people crossing daily, including tourists, workers, and residents, and more business opening & employees working, the potential risk of exposure has increased. Since the City recently acquired 500 rapid tests and the strictness of the criteria was reduced, access to testing has improved. Both of these factors may have contributed to the increased number of reported cases.




This is another article about the benefits of the Isla Mujeres Green and Healthy program which is providing maintenance and beautification around the island, as well as providing work for residents. The work has included pruning, weeding, general cleaning, sweeping, painting of curbs, cleaning of parks and sports areas, repair of potholes, planting of plants, and maintenance of public lighting.

Let's continue to practice hygiene measures, maintain healthy distance between people when going out to any establishment.
Continually clean and disinfect the common-use areas of your home.

Turtles continue nesting in July. They can be observed mating offshore from Punta Sur during this month, and they nest along the eastern beaches. Tortugranja staff and volunteers gather the eggs and incubate them in the sand in a pen outside the facility. Three species nest annually in Isla Mujeres, Greens, Loggerheads, and Hawksbills, and very rarely, a Leatherback will attempt to nest, but generally the sand isn't sufficiently deep.

Swimming with the whale sharks takes place in July, which ends annually in mid-September. They congregate and feed on a 'buffet' of plankton and fish eggs from a type of tuna. Rays are also attracted to the feeding areas.  Photo by Tony Garcia
 

Delta Aquariid meteor showers begin in mid July, peak on July 31-August 1st when there is less interference from moonlight,  and continue thru August 23rd.

Lobster fishing resumes in July, until the end of February.
