*According to national guidelines in Mexico, a person is a suspected COVID-19 case if he/she presents at least one of the following: cough, fever or headache; and at least one of the following: dyspnoea, myalgia, arthralgia, odynophagia, chest pain, rhinorrhea or conjunctivitis (https://coronavirus.gob.mx/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Lineamiento_VE_y_Lab_Enf_Viral_20211008.pdf).
†Due to the unavailability of a confirmatory test (RT-PCR) in most cases, it was not possible to confirm the suspicion of COVID-19, so cases remained classified as suspicious even though they obtained several positive results in antigen tests for SARS-CoV-2. In the period March 2020–June 2022, only 60 confirmatory tests were performed, with nine positive (from 3514 cumulated suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases only 0.26% were confirmed).
