Message from Governor Carlos Joaquin

“This May 10, I am pleased to announce that the use of face masks in Quintana Roo is voluntary as of today. The use of a face mask is recommended in public transport, crowds, and for service personnel during their working day.”

Seaweed Heading for Quintana Roo

On May 2 the Mexico Daily News reported that more seaweed is heading our way. Their headline read: “Navy expresses alarm; predicts massive arrival of 32,000 *tonnes of sargassum.

‘We would like the results to be better, but we are combating the problem’

Navy Minister Rafael Ojeda warned Friday that over 30,000 tonnes of sargassum were located off the coast of Quintana Roo.

Speaking at President López Obrador’s morning press conference – held Friday in the Quintana Roo municipality of Isla Mujeres – Ojeda said the navy was monitoring an estimated 32,000 tonnes of the seaweed.

2022 Hurricane Season Forecast

The experts at Colorado State University released their initial outlook for the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season last month, and they expect another very active year in the tropics.

19 NAMED STORMS FORECAST FOR 7TH STRAIGHT ABOVE-AVERAGE ATLANTIC HURRICANE SEASON

CSU’s forecast calls for 19 named storms, nine of which could become hurricanes with winds of at least 74 mph. Out of those hurricanes, four of them could become major (Category 3 or higher) with winds of at least 115 mph. “Alex” will be the name given to the first named storm of the season.

The Cozumel Sun Community Programs

Your donations continue to assist us in our ongoing support of Cozumel families One of the families we continue to assist is a single dad that is legally blind due to a work-related accident.

David advertises on WhatsApp (Caracole Tuchitos & Coctel de Camaron 987-119-9913)

The dad, David, works hard to be self-sufficient and tries every means possible to care for himself and his son before asking for assistance.

We help David with whatever he needs to make ends meet. Assistance consists of doctor consultation, medication, school supplies, lunch money for Angel, and sometimes supplies for his weekend sale of botanas.

In addition to David and his son, we aid four other families on an as needed basis. Neighborhood children enjoy discounted and sometimes free of charge school supplies from our store. We continue to feed anyone that drops by in need of a meal.

Medication and Medical Equipment

All the medication on hand is donated to the free clinic of Todos Somos Cozumel. We are always collecting medication to donate!

We also have Medical Equipment to loan and donate. Please find a complete description in The Cozumel Sun Community Program on The Cozumel Sun Home page.
