I have seen many posts and articles saying that a vaccination passport or a negative test is needed to enter restaurants here in Puerto Vallarta, but that isn't true, and I am simply posting this to clear the air.
There is a list of different places where the passports and/or tests will be needed to enter, but restaurants are not on that list. The following text is an article from the governor's website translated into English, and there is also a link to the original post at the bottom, so you can be able to read what is really true.
Objective of the plan:
Unlike the first year of the pandemic, today in Jalisco we have the information and experience to apply a strategy with a long-term vision that gives people certainty, but at the same time continues to prioritize people's health and lives.
As of January 14, 2022, new measures will be applied to maintain the economic growth strategy with responsibility (there will be no closures), applying the following criteria:
The epidemiological surveillance system will be reinforced with increased testing and tracking of infections.
A vaccination certificate or negative test with 48 hours validity will be requested for some recreational activities.
A staggered calendar is established for a return to face-to-face attendance in schools:
In basic education on January 17. With optional scheme (you can continue distance education)
For upper secondary education, the return to attendance will be on January 31.
For higher education, the return to attendance will be on February 8
in the case of UdeG and for private Universities it will be according to their calendar, after January 31.
Medicines for the treatment of COVID will be acquired.
