Mexican protesters block border crossing over coronavirus

Mexican protesters have blocked the Mexico-bound lanes at the main crossing in the twin border cities of Nogales to demand their government conduct strict coronavirus testing on Americans and other travelers entering the country

Protesters wearing face masks and carrying signs used a pair of vehicles to blockade the two southbound lanes on Wednesday at the DeConcini crossing, which links Nogales, Ariz., and Nogales in the Mexican state of Sonora, the Arizona Republic reported.

Some of the signs asked US residents to “stay at home,” while others called on Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to beef up controls and restrictions along the border to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The number of confirmed cases in the US is the third highest in the world and dwarfs the number of known cases in Mexico, where there has been little testing.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Arizona had confirmed more than 400 cases and at least six deaths resulting from the coronavirus, while Sonora had confirmed four cases of COVID-19 statewide.

Are the Mexican protesters protesting at the southern border of Mexico as well?
