The Secretary-General of the State of Baja California, Amador Rodriguez, ordered the temporary closure of all maquiladoras[1]<\/a>\u00a0as of April 16, 2020. The Secretary-General explained that this measure was taken after many companies continued operations, despite not being considered \u201cessential\u201d activities as defined in the order promulgated by Mexican Ministry of Health on March 30, 2020.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

The Secretary-General decreed that following the closure of all maquiladoras in Baja California, a company may submit a request to the Ministry of Labor to reopen its facilities. If the company can show that the activities performed in the facility are \u201cessential\u201d, then the Ministry of Labor will allow its reopening.\u00a0 All other companies will not be allowed to reopen until Mexico\u2019s COVID-19 measures are lifted.<\/p>\n

The Secretary-General has stated that there will be legal consequences for those companies that continue to operate without abiding by this order. He further stated that inspectors of the Federal Commission for Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) will begin to sanction such companies.<\/p>\n
