Mexico, SAEDNEWS, Dec. 24: Desperate times call for desperate measures, and health authorities in Irapuato, central Mexico, took this advice to the extreme, by deploying a gang of ‘lucha libre’ fighters to enforce public mask wearing.
In an apparent bid to enforce extreme compliance with mask wearing rules in public, authorities in the central Mexican city of over 380,000 residents, roughly 300km from the capital, decided to, playfully, stomp out the problem of non-compliance. Footage shared by city hall shows the hell-raising ‘health officers’ on patrol in the local market square.
The initiative is part of a campaign promoted by the Health Directorate of Irapuato to starkly remind local residents about the importance of wearing masks to help curb the spread of coronavirus infections in the city.
Some online decried the “state’s control and surveillance system,” which apparently includes the use of “humiliation and force.”
