In a video message uploaded to social media on Tuesday,\u00a0Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro warned that he will shut down the state economy if coronavirus cases and hospital admissions continue to increase.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He announced the Jalisco government has implemented an “emergency button” that if pressed, all economic activity will be immediately required to shut down. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He explained that activation of the button depends on two factors: hospital occupancy levels and the weekly per capita incidence of new coronavirus infections. \u201cIf the first indicator reaches 50% or the second reaches 400 per million inhabitants, we will have to stop [economic activities] again. It\u2019s as clear as that. Today the first indicator is at 26% and the second is at 290,\u201d Alfaro said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This lockdown would be much stricter than the original lockdown the entire country faced in April & May. Everything, including public transportation and restaurants offering takeout would have to shut down. Only food markets will be permitted to remain open. <\/p>\n
