This is the plan that is released. The whole state is red still so I have doubts about reopening for diving on June 7-8? Construction workers are allowed to work now so it is a gradual phase that will be done over time.Is this currently in effect? If not, then when? And who published it?
Of course, the built-in assumption is that things will gradually get better and continue to do so as things open up.As things gradually get better, the numbers of participants will increase.

On point. It seems to me that the assumption that infections will follow a bell shaped Gaussian curve and decline (and continue to decline) after a peak is reached is based on the behavior of other very different diseases with a good dollop of wishful thinking. For example, when will it be safe for tens of thousands of people to gather for a sporting event or concert when a single person with COVID-19 in the crowd can infect hundreds and start the whole thing over again?First assumption -- things will get better....eventually -- seems like a good bet (the key word there is "eventually"). The second part -- that things will continue to get better as things open up -- is the big question. Evidence from other places suggests this is not always the case.
It's all going to depend on how people behave, to what extent they adhere strictly to the safety guidelines, and there's some luck involved, too. I'm not there and can't see how well the average Cozumeleño tends to follow the safety guidelines (social distancing, wearing masks, etc.). But the virus does not ignore when people skirt the rules, shrug off the truth, and cut corners (see plenty of evidence of that in the USA, UK, Brazil, etc.). I hope the folks there are diligent and take things seriously.
It would be very nice if there a source you could go to find out when things will be back to some semblance of normal, but since no one really knows at this point how things are going to play out, there isn't. The best advice I can give is to be patient and not take stupid chances with your life and health for the sake of a vacation.So where can we go to check on this? I have a trip to Tulum scheduled for July.
