Like many other countries in the world, Cancun is carrying out all the sanitary measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Masks are mandatory in most of the places indoors, you must use hand sanitizer all the time, as well as the health distance. Many hotels and restaurants have limited capacity, they are currently working by bookings to guarantee visitors' health.

Depending on the state traffic light is the capacity permitted at establishments, we just switch to green in the traffic light which means that the risk of contagion is minor (Oct 2021).

Although, all the hotels are open, as well as tours, activities, shopping centers, restaurants,  Mayan ruins, and more services. This is the same for Isla Mujeres, Puerto Morelos, Cozumel, and Playa del Carmen.

Since travel planning nowadays is a sensitive route to take, we would like to highlight that Mexico is completely open to tourism, with no mandatory 14-day quarantine for any nationality entering the country.
