As of today, two percent of the population of Mérida has already been confirmed as positive for Covid-19, revealed the Ministry of Health of Yucatán (SSY). This figure was reached after 11.5 months of the pandemic in the State.
Based on the Population and Housing Census of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi), in the state, there are 22 municipalities whose percentage of the population infected with Covid-19 exceeds one percent.
He revealed that the greatest problem is registered in the municipalities of San Felipe, followed by Valladolid, Cuncunul, Ticul, and Mérida.

349 days after the detection of the first case of Covid-19 in Yucatán, there are already 32,193 people infected with the lethal biological agent, with an age range of one month to 99 years.
For now, San Felipe is the municipality with the highest rate of morbidity from Covid-19, with a higher rate of five thousand infections per 100 thousand inhabitants.
That means that five percent of the population tested positive for the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes the Covid-19 disease.
Even today, no municipality has an index higher than three percent, but there are four that have two percent and 17 more exceed one percent. Thus, there are 84 other municipalities with an index of less than one percent.
