Mass testing won't happen in Mexico. That's the way the government wants it

Mexican health officials believe the outbreak will peak in this country no later than May 20, though some studies suggest it could arrive in late June, even as the country has one of the lowest testing rates in the world. 'I don't think testing is a must,' Lopez-Gatell said when asked if the country could re-open safely without more tests. 'This doesn't mean we're resistant to testing, we will use testing but in a carefully planned manner.' As of May 11, Mexico had only conducted 89 tests per 100,000 people, according to health ministry data. By contrast, the US tested at a rate nearly 32 times higher than that, according to the COVID Tracking Project.
