Mexico's health ministry has urged people to maintain a “healthy distance” to avoid infection, even as the president held rallies in the country, shaking hands with and hugging dozens of people, according to Reuters.
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador kept up his busy schedule of rallies around Mexico at the weekend, touring towns in the southwestern state of Guerrero.
Some critics and health experts expressed alarm at the sight of the president hugging supporters and kissing their children, arguing he was setting a bad example.
