MEXICO CITY - Twenty-eight U.S. spring break tourists who returned to Texas after vacationing with a large group in the Mexican beach resort of Cabo San Lucas have tested positive for coronavirus, drawing attention to possibly low detection of cases in Mexico.
The 28 confirmed cases are self-isolating and dozens more are under quarantine while being monitored and tested, the city of Austin said in a statement on Tuesday.
About a week and a half ago, approximately 70 people in their 20s departed in a chartered plane for a spring break trip, the city said, adding that some of the group returned on separate commercial flights.
Currently, 28 young adults on this trip have tested positive for COVID-19 and dozens more are under public health investigation, the statement said.
Austin public health authorities and the University of Texas at Austin have contacted every spring breaker onboard the plane using flight manifests from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the citys statement said.
Mexicos usually packed beaches, bars and clubs have largely emptied after U.S. authorities issued a ban on non-essential travel to Mexico, including for tourist trips across the U.S.-Mexico land border.
Mexico declared a health emergency on Monday and issued stricter rules aimed at containing the fast-spreading coronavirus.

I think it already is. There is the San Diego Tunnel Task Force, which includes Homeland Security Investigations, Border Patrol, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the United States Attorneys Office.
Can’t deny entry to US Citizens.
we were quarantining US citizens two weeks at places like March Air Base. Should have done that to them.
may be true, but I also hate middle aged and old people.
“It wasnt a great idea to go”
Understatement of the day, maybe even week, month or year. They left after all that is going on was very apparent.
Interesting....
Why do I doubt your stated age....
I hate myself?? What are you a shrink?
Your doubt is your problem.
You’re a piece of work I hope I don’t run into more people here who reason and acts like you and who goes after people when they don’t even have reason to do so.
I think we’re done. show us how classless you are by taking the last word to get another shot in. Oldie!
did you just stalk me from one thread to the other. WTH is wrong with you?
So you said you were 74...So rationally I thought you must hate yourself...
I said 73 It seems beyond your intellect that someone could hate others like I hate you and still love themselves. You have a real problem with logic and analytical skills. I feel sorry if you have some type of disorder. I really do.
I think were done. show us how classless you are by taking the last word to get another shot in. Oldie!
Are you REALLY 74?
Or a lying coyote...
Bless you and I hope you keep healthy.
You hate me...?
Oh you hate me...HA!!...Keep on loving yourself....NOOB,,,That's classy NOOB!
You been here 5 minutes...and you ain't 74 yrs old...and you are a NOOB...,
Want to bet?
Thank you for your kind thoughts. Hey no symptoms is a good thing. If they want to use what ever anti bodies I have to fight this thing, hook me up!
I think I had it in the very beginning of March but I couldn’t get tested then. My symptoms were too mild.
Yes. Four times I was exposed and four times it missed me. Nah nah na nan nah, ya missed me!
BTW, it looks like it is loose in Japan again. Their rates are rising fast the last few days compared to what they had been doing.
