Residents of Mexican town block Americans from entering

MEXICO CITY — Residents of the town of Sonoyta, across from Lukeville, Arizona, briefly blocked the main road leading south from the U.S. border over the weekend over fears of coronavirus outbreaks.

Arizona has seen a major upsurge in infections and there were worries about intensified contagion during the July 4 weekend.

Sonoyta Mayor José Ramos Arzate issued a statement Saturday “inviting U.S. tourists not to visit Mexico.”

Local residents organized to block the road with their cars on the Mexican side Saturday.

Can't really blame them. They see the out of control infection numbers the same as we do.....

This is the infection chart for Pima County where the town of Lukeville is located:



Yep, that's 9,024 cases as of 7/4/20.
