Third Mexican governor tests positive: Pancho Dominguez, the governor of Querétaro state, announced on Twitter that his coronavirus test came back positive. His announcement follows similar ones from the governors of Tabasco and Hidalgo states.

Health secretary tests positive: Tabasco state Health Secretary Dr. Silvia G. Roldán Fernández has tested positive for coronavirus, Subsecretary Dr. Leopoldo Gastelum Fernandez said in a video news conference. 

“You will ask why our health secretary isn’t here,” he said, after receiving a slip of paper during the news conference. Gastelum Fernandez then said that Roldán Fernández took a test for Covid-19 that came back positive, though she is asymptomatic. She is continuing to work remotely for the health agency.
