COVID-19 is spreading like wildfire in Mexican cities along the United States border yet transit between the countries has increased dramatically, flouting State Department travel restrictions issued to keep the virus from spreading.
In the Mexican city of Sonora, near the southwest Arizona town of San Luis, COVID-19 is so rampant that an overwhelmed hospital was shut down not far from the jam-packed San Luis border crossing.
The San Luis crossing remains among the busiest along the southern border, with consistently lengthy wait times.
In the last few days wait times have spiked up to six hours, according to agents who man the hectic crossing.
"That hospital that got closed is near the busiest port along the southern border," said Cramer who has been in contact with the mayor of San Luis, a working-class town of about 34,000 adjacent to the Colorado River.
In El Paso, Texas nine CBP officers have tested positive for COVID-19 and, though traffic in that sector has been lighter than in Arizona, officials say there should be no cross border traffic considering a big COVID-19 outbreak in nearby Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.
Under COVID-19 protocols Mexican nationals are not allowed to go back and forth via land crossings for non-essential travel, but those with legal U.S. residency and citizens cannot be stopped.
