Apologies if I missed a different thread on this, but are there any current Covid restrictions in Penasco? Are masks required inside or outside?

This will be my first trip in 5 years so if there anything else important to know, please feel free to share. Thanks!

You are supposed to wear masks when driving with 2 or more people in a car. (this rule is still valid, but many ignore it)
We always wear them driving thru Sonoyta and when in Penasco, otherwise you're looking to get pulled over for a
payout to the officer, my son was pulled over in Sept. in Sonoyta for no mask and cost him $60 because they
bullied him into paying them.

A mask is required entering stores and many restaurants, in restaurants masks can be removed when seated.
Some places are getting lax about masks.
There might be some places requiring a mask outdoors I'm not aware of, but keep one in your pocket/purse.
You don't need to have proof of a Covid vaccination or test if you're a US citizen/resident,
either in Mexico or re-entering the US, but that can change at anytime.

In the Sonotya area drive the speed limit 40KPH (24MPH), stop at stop signs for 3-5 seconds.
Really pay attention to the speed limit sign's otherwise it will cost you $20-160, officer will try to make you pay him.
If you get stopped either pay at the city station, it's 1,100 pesos last I heard, or see if the officer will take $40.

I always travel thru Sonoyta with $20-40 in my travel wallet and no credit/debit card in it, same for other riders with you.

We pay for most things using Pesos we get at a Citi Banamex ATM in Sam's club, or next door in the Bodega, or in Super Ley.
The exchange rate from them is around 20.5 - 1, many places will only give you 17/18 -1, anything less than 20 pay in pesos
over 20-1 use dollars. Doing that You save 10-15% on almost everything.

Using a CC have them bill it in Pesos, if you can use a credit/debit card without foreign transaction fees.
Enjoy your trip.

Give the Mexicans a break and mask up. A dinner at a Denver steakhouse for 8 last week resulted in all 8 getting covid.The unvaxxed bro is really sick and so is the Johnson shot guy but not as bad…..The rest are on the mend.

These people are so lucky. Now they have some protection from natural immunity. Tasty steak dinner and health benefits. It was a 2fer!

Sorry to hear about your family member ,did he have any underlying issues? If the vaccine and masks worked then why is it that there are more cases of the China virus under this government than the last . I for the first time have refused to get the regular flue shot and this new vaccine shot. I no longer listen to all this fear porn and I do not believe any of info this government and the media is spreading .

Well as a matter of fact, he did have an underlying condition, Steve. He was stupid, just like you and Queen. You can't fix stupid, but Covid can.

So , if I get the shots against the China virus and the regular flue witch they only get right maybe 30% of the time I'll be safe . Wrong , it is proven you can still get sick and can pass to others . If you doubt me just ask the navy about that ship at Gauntanmo navy base that were all vaced and boosted and now all have the virus, so much for the shots . Herd immunity is my choice , the governments is not my doctor. If your government was really concerned about your well-being they would seal up the borders and stop the flow of millions of illegals that are bring in more the just the China virus . This whole thing is political !!

This is the most words Steve has ever written on this forum by 42... Rocky Point Talk. Nothing to say about Rocky Point for months on end. Mention the virus and boom! As John Madden would say. RIP

Do you also stick your fingers in your ears and yell nah nah nah? Are you so weak minded that the 'misinformation' might sway you into doing something detrimental to your health? I don't think the internet is for you. Hazardous to your health.

i sincerely hope he recovers and is on the mend soon. I also hope they don’t end up killing him in the hospital by putting him on a vent with Remdesivir. That combo has taken 100’s of thousands of lives.

so it sounds like all the others were vaxxed, which would mean, the 1 unvaxxed bro probably got it from one of the 7 vaxxed ?

That’s how it’s been shaking out lately it looks like
