It is safe to vacation in Mexico: PAHO

 

The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) stated trips to touristic destinations in Mexico are safe as long as the travelers take the health measures recommended by the World Health Organization (PAHO).

 

"If I would have to travel to Cancun (Mexico), I would," said the principal technical adviser of PAHO on immunizations, Jon K. Andrus, when asked if the PAHO recommend specific measures to reduce the impact on tourism in Mexico.

 

Andrus noted that the preventive measures recommended by WHO and PAHO as washing hands and maintaining hygiene are certainly enough to travel to tourist destinations.

 

Andrus endorsed the viewpoint of PAHO and WHO that "the Mexican response has been excellent" against the outbreak of human influenza.
