Covid-19 Protocols For Puerto Vallarta Semana Santa 2021. Secretary General of the Government Health Board Juan Enrique Ibarra Pedroza announced the Covid-19 restrictions for Puerto Vallarta for Semana Santa 2021. These restrictions are in effect only from March 29- April 2, 2021.
- Puerto Vallarta bars and restaurants must close at 11pm during the period.
- Puerto Vallarta beaches can open from 5 am to 5 pm during the period.
- Puerto Vallarta hotels remain open with a maximum capacity of 66%.
- Religious processions, pilgrimages, living representations and celebrations that generate crowds are not allowed.
The governor of Jalisco, Enrique Alfaro, earlier this year promised that there would no longer be any “emergency button” and restrictions will only be announced in advance on 3 dates: Semana Santa, Mother’s Day and election day. This is the second year Semana Santa festivities have been restricted. Last year, when the pandemic practically began, authorities ordered a total quarantine and asked travelers not to leave home for the holiday.
