The situation could continue to be negative because the guidelines of the health authorities that have differentiated the contingency traffic light by entities, and even by regions in the similar states.

 

With the goal that only some sales floors of certain elements have been operating as the case of Jalisco, Nuevo Leon and recently the capital of the nation.
