This is how the coronavirus impacts fishing municipalities in Mexico

The headache has haunted him in recent days, but Ernesto Gastélum hasn't stopped fishing despite the fact that the coronavirus seems to be following his trail. First it was his wife who fell ill at the beginning of January and, more recently, a teenage son.

Not willing to take a test, Ernesto senses that it is Covid-19, but the need to pay the family expenses left by the pandemic prevents him from stopping working in the sea in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.

“To this day I don't have an alternative activity to fishing, a profitable activity,” the diver told Causa Natura, whose job is to extract shellfish, snails, clams, octopus, calluses and mollusks in the bays of Adair and San Jorge.
