Mexico deaths pass 10,000 as restrictions eased

More than 10,000 people have died with coronavirus in Mexico, the country’s health minister has announced.

The announcement came on the same day that many restrictions brought in to curb the spread of the virus were lifted.

The number of confirmed cases was more than 93,000 as of Monday, according to official figures.

That figure means Mexico is the fourth worst affected country in Latin America after Brazil, Peru and Chile.
