Luis Miguel Barbosa, the governor of the Mexican state of Puebla has claimed that poorer people are immune to Covid-19, while the president has told citizens to carry on as normal.
Mr Barbosa made the comments in reaction to Mexican officials revealing that around 75 per cent of Mexico’s 475 confirmed coronavirus cases are related to people travelling internationally, according to the AP.
Because international travel is generally undertaken by wealthier people, Mr Barbosa claimed that poorer people are immune to the virus.
“The majority are wealthy people. If you are rich, you are at risk. If you are poor, no,” he said.
Mexico has reacted slower than other nations to enforce measures to help tackle Covid-19.
