'Don't stop going out,' Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador told his citizens.
A private testing laboratory in Mexico City has reportedly seen dozens of people line up in vehicles and on foot in hopes of being able to pay to get tested for coronavirus, despite the government's message that not all people with concerns need to be tested.
Alejandra Quintero, 46, was one of many waiting outside the Biomedica lab in Lomas de Chapultepec on Wednesday, hoping to pay the roughly $137 fee to find out whether or not she has COVID-19,"My body hurts, I don't have energy, I climb the stairs and I feel like I can't breathe," Quintero said, wearing a surgical mask and speaking from the driver's seat of her vehicle.
If President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador"really cares about this people," Quintero said,"he should protect them. Calls for Mexico's president to expand public testing for COVID-19 have been growing in recent days, with protesters blocking the southbound entrance at the U.S.-Mexico border in the twin cities of Ambos Nogales on Wednesday to call on the government to take further measures to address the outbreak at the border and across the country.
López Obrador, however, has sought to quell concerns, with the populist president encouraging citizens in a video message earlier this week to continue life as"normal."Medic workers wear protective gear as they prepare to attend a suspected Covid-19 patient at the Hospital General de Occidente"Zoquipan" in Zapopan, Jalisco state in Mexico, on March 25, 2020."If you can afford it, keep taking your family out to eat," he said.
