Production of the popular Corona beer has been put on hold in Mexico due to the coronavirus outbreak and self-isolation across the country.
The company that makes the beer, Grupo Modelo, shared an announcement on Twitter that it was halting production and marketing of its beer after the Mexican government issued the immediate suspension of all non-essential businesses, according to CNN in a piece published Friday.
‘The immediate suspension is ordered from March 30 and until April 30 of non-essential activities in the public, private and social sectors. That is to say, everything,’ assured the undersecretary of Health Hugo López-Gatell when announcing stricter measures to decrease the speed of infections by covid-19.
