Coronavirus in 'sustained decline' in Mexico, top official says

The coronavirus pandemic is now in "sustained decline" in Mexico after a significant drop in fatalities during the past week, the government's coronavirus czar Hugo Lopez-Gatell said on Tuesday. In the week through Aug. 17, Mexico's health ministry recorded 4,020 additional fatalities from the virus, a decline of almost 20% from the previous seven-day period. Deputy Health Minister Lopez-Gatell and President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador have made a series of declarations about how the government is winning the fight against the virus, even as the pandemic continues to hit new records in Mexico.
