#ÚLTIMAHORA.
Forbidden the entry of American citizens and residents of the USA to #Tamaulipas by COVID-19 pandemic.
The SRE had already warned it but many people with American nationality who work on the American side and live in #Tamaulipas had ignored it. Official details will be released in the next few hours.
From this Monday April 6th, the passage until further notice is prohibited.

[/QUOTE]Nuevo Laredo has also mandated face masks, many stores will not allow you to enter without one.
[QUOTE=Bbond;2440322]Nuevo Laredo has also mandated face masks, many stores will not allow you to enter without one.[/QUOTE]Crossed the border yesterday no issues. Most had face masks on. There were some restaurants that were open and people inside eating. Drove to MTY they seem to be taking this little more serious. I had major issues getting a hotel, you have to say you are here for work.
I do not think Mexico, can survive a month shut down, so I feel that the quarantine will not last one month. All countries will probably be forced to weigh there options.
[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2440535]Crossed the border yesterday no issues. Most had face masks on. There were some restaurants that were open and people inside eating. [/QUOTE]Some restaurants still allow people to eat inside, but many more are carry-out or delivery only. Presently there are no sanctions nor penalties for not wearing a face mask, unlike Laredo, TX, so some people refuse to do so. The policia and transitos are supposed to reminding people about the requirement, so I suspect many of those will try to say it is required and try to extort you for a "fine".
Hotels in Laredo and MTY are now requiring a certified letter saying your are in Mexico for work. Has to be on letterhead, and stamped. They might let you stay one night, but total pain in the Ass. This totally sucks.
Nuevo Laredo starts curfew hours tonight, Thursday the 9th. Hours are 10 p to 6 a. No fines or jail time are listed in the order. I just says the police or military will stop you and encourage you to go home.
When I came across the bridge, from work yesterday, I was asked if I lived in Nuevo Laredo. There was no issues letting me pass.

Until further notice? I doubt it.

Best to wait a couple more weeks. 2 girls I know tried to leave MTY to go to another city they were turned around and told to go home. Mexico is taking this pretty seriously, I am surprised. They may not have an economy after this and no one will have a job, time will only tell if it was the correct decision to close everything.

[QUOTE=Bbond;2442036]Sorry slick, but it seems that it is closed. [URL]https://www.cityexpress.com/reservacion/hotel/CENLD[/URL].[/QUOTE]I know that. I was just speculating on whether they closed it for good, or for only a few weeks. Time will tell. Anyhow it was great while it lasted: great location, great pricing, great food, and didn't care if you brought in visitors.
