Mexican health officials are already warning about a possible Coronavirus resurgence in October corresponding with the start of flu season.

During a nightly news conference, Mexico’s Undersecretary of Health Hugo Lopez Gatell said that as most of the world expects to see an eventual downturn of the pandemic and a return to normal life, individuals must be cautious to avoid creating a new spike.

“In October 2020, at the start of the Influenza season, there is the possibility that we could see a return of COVID with greater intensity,” Lopez Gatell said as he warned of possible regional quarantines.

During his nightly news conference, Lopez Gatell released the latest version of his controversial Coronavirus figures of 35,022 confirmed cases and 3,465 fatalities. The daily statistics are widely criticized since Lopez Gatell admitted to only acknowledging cases in government hospitals. This measure led several states to release their own figures.
