The U.S. government has called on Americans in several Mexican states to shelter in place, including the popular vacation spots of Jalisco, Baja California and Quintana Roo, as violence erupts across the United States following the death of cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes.
Airports are operating normally, but some domestic and international flights have been canceled in Guadelajara and Puerto Vallarta. Widespread road closures have also hampered airline operations, and all taxi and ride-sharing services have been suspended in Puerto Vallarta.
If you are currently in an affected area of Mexico, you should follow guidance from the U.S. Department of State:
Seek shelter and minimize unnecessary movement. Stay at home or in your hotel. Avoid areas around law enforcement activity. Please be aware of your surroundings. Monitor local media for updates. Please follow instructions from local authorities and call 911 in case of emergency. Avoid crowds. Let your family and friends know your location and safety through phone calls, text messages, and social media.
