Mexico City, Jan 18 (Ians) Mexico has registered 12 straight weeks of an increase in Covid-19 cases, with a “slight rise” in deaths and hospitalisations, Undersecretary of Prevention and Health Promotion Hugo Lopez-Gatell said.
There was a “big contrast” between the number of infections and the number of deaths, he stressed on Tuesday, thanks to a nationwide vaccination campaign against Covid-19 launched at the end of 2020.

According to the latest data, nearly 84 per cent of the population is vaccinated in Mexico...
