The notice was posted on April 20, on the website www.travel.state.gov. In the case of Sinaloa, it was recommended that travel by US government employees be limited to certain areas.

For example, in Mazatlán, it recommended traveling by air or sea, they are only limited to the Golden Zone and the Historic Center of the city and must use direct routes when traveling to and from those places and the airport and cruise terminals

And although the general alert not to travel is for the entire country, in the analysis by states only Colima, Guerrero, Michoacán, Sinaloa and Tamaulipas are at level 4 and have a recommendation not to travel.
