This from Ariete Caborca on the incidence of COVID19 in Sonora state.
From my reading of the paper the Sonoran Governor has been proactive and for a state with 2.85 million residents the incidence of COVID is only 152 -- I'm sure that is low since it takes testing to confirm a case but still it is much less on a per capita basis than in my metro area of Kansas City where we have 2 million population and around 8000 confirmed cases of the disease. 8000 vs 152 - safer in Sonora than here in a midwest city. In Caborca Municipality - the city and surrounding rural area - only six cases are confirmed.

Gerardo Álvarez Hernández highlighted that in the case of the eight-year-old girl who was confirmed with Covid-19 on Sunday, it is suspected that she acquired the virus at a social gathering where there were people from the United States, since none of his parents or close contacts suffer from this disease, so he reiterated the call to stay in their homes and avoid performing or attending social events.
"What we have investigated is that this girl attended a meeting where there were visitors from the United States, specifically from Los Angeles, so I rescued the recommendation we have made not to hold social meetings because this is just happening", he said.
