The US State Department advised that more areas of Mexico have “returned to normal” following widespread unrest, however cautioned US residents in Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, and Ciudad Guzman to proceed to shelter in place.
“While incidents were reported yesterday, February 22, the situation has returned to normal in the following areas: Baja California (including Tijuana, Tecate, and Ensenada), Quintana Roo State (including Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, and Tulum), Colima, Guanajuato, Estado de Mexico, Nuevo Leon, Oaxaca, Puebla, Queretaro, San Luis Potosi, Sinaloa, Tamaulipas, Veracruz, and Zacatecas,” the most recent safety alert from the US diplomatic mission in Mexico stated.
The checklist was expanded from an alert issued earlier on Monday.
Still, “U.S. government staff in Guadalajara (Jalisco), Puerto Vallarta (Jalisco/Nayarit), and Ciudad Guzman (Jalisco) are sheltering in place until all blockades are cleared, and we urge U.S. citizens to do the same,” the alert stated.
The newest alert suggested that “some, but not all, scheduled flights are departing from Guadalajara, and flights have begun departing Puerto Vallarta.”
“Confirm that your flight is on track for departure from Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta before you depart for the airport,” the alert stated.
