Swine Flu in Cancun: Status?
What is the current status of swine flu in Cancun. Well, the status is that we do not have a status. Basically a few days back, the government stated that they had 5 suspect cases being analyzed, and until now there is no new announcements from the government in Cancun.
Most of the tourists to Cancun are already heading back or if not gone yet, have canceled their trip. This is indeed very sad for the city and the tourist industry, but nothing much can be done about it, as Mexico is more less under a travel embargo (actual, or by tourists). EU is considering banning travel to Mexico urged by France (to be decided this Thursday).
So regardless of flu cases being found in Cancun or not, a lot of folks have decided to postone their dream vacations. Also a large number of tour operators have canceled.
Should you go if you have reservations? Well, besides chance of catching flu, you also risk being stranded there if there is an overall ban on travel from Mexico from your country. Also traveling by air is getting iffy, with quarantines (one already in Maryland) when passengers with flu-like symptoms are found on the plane.
