Why Baja California ranks 2nd in the country for COVID-19 deaths?

Unlike Mexico City and the State of Mexico, the high number of infections in Baja California does not respond to a large number of people, since the state is home to about 3.6 million Mexicans, ranked 15th by the number of population.

The reason for the high number of infections in that state is its proximity to the southern border of the United States and all the activity it has with that country, which today occupies the first place worldwide of positive cases and deaths caused by Covid-19.

The flow of commerce and people has also placed that entity as the third with the highest number of infections.
