Aren't the number of cases and deaths still increasing in Mexico?
Yes. Pretty much everywhere else, too. The rate of change of increase seems to be slowing, though. I believe the canceling of large gatherings of people in close quarters (concerts, sporting events, etc.) had a lot to do with that; in those environments a single person carrying the virus can infect a whole lot of others.
I haven't went thru the whole certification thing cause I technically don't have to but the few things:
Educate the employees
Supposed to be providing hand sanitizer
Each business is supposed to have some plan as to how often they clean things
I've heard a bit on the diving, how you'll seat people, maintain equipment (I'll say the one example I seen is OMG bs, bagging regulators, your own wash bucket.... it wasn't any certain dive op that I seen this at, it was someones recommendation)
Some stores like the new OXXO on Melgar are boarded up, some like 7Eleven have paper up over the glass and some that you can see into are bare like they took everything out of there.
I know, it seems absurd sort of, whatever day they say we're open - it won't be like opening the doors on a Black Friday sale. These places have been untouched for two months - heck, Senor Frogs over in Playa - the patio area with the bar is completely bare.
Yes, they are here in Q Roo, active cases held steady for a bit and now are going up, most total active cases to date was today.
I just looked at California and Florida - I can't really find "active" cases but they list daily new cases. Shoot, California has been on a steady increase in daily cases, Florida seems like they were level and now the last few days, they've gone up a little bit.
I don't know what to think anymore...
This virus is much more contagious than most. We are not going to beat it (eradicate it) by social distancing, washing hand....
We flattened the curve and slows the spread. The same number of people would be ultimately infected (area under the curve is the same, number if cases would be the same) but takes alot longer. What it does it allows time for hospitals manage cases, get PPE, develop therapies... and develop a vaccine.
Remove social distancing and masks and a single person can infect dozens in an enclosed environment.
So probably until most of the population gets C19, or is vaccinated, this virus will be around. Get to no new infections, have a cruise ship dock, your island is reinfected.

In a gotta do it situation, you're right. They're just dragging things on.... The pirate ship sunk in the harbor last night.... another kick in the balls for some down here
