Abstract: A review is made of the confirmed cases of COVID-19 and deaths in Mexico as of May 6, 2020, from the public database of the General Directorate of Epidemiology and the National System of Epidemiological Surveillance of the Ministry of Health in Mexico. A descriptive ecological study of confirmed cases and deaths by COVID-19 is designed. 27,634 confirmed cases and 2,704 registered deaths were reviewed. Of the confirmed cases they predominated in men (58.48%) and their distribution by states of Mexico, being more frequent in Mexico City, State of Mexico, Baja California and Tabasco. Deaths are shown by day on which they occurred. It is concluded that the measures of social isolation and quarantine should be reinforced to decrease the number of confirmed cases and deaths related to COVID-19.
