This is the DeepL.com translation from Alerta Cozumel. Could be DCS or a COVID-19 complication. I've read at least one report of COVID-19 causing lung damage even in asymptomatic cases that would be disqualifying for diving. Bad news any way you slice it:
This afternoon, a 58-year-old fisherman was rushed to the hospital because he was having difficulty breathing after diving to the bottom of the sea a couple of times.
It was around 1:30 p.m. today, when municipal police went to the North Coast Highway at the Empedrado Zone, as they reported a drowned person,
The officers interviewed Gregorio E.I., 40 years old, who said he was in charge of the boat "SUSY", where he went fishing today with his employee José Ignacio C.C., 58 years old.
José Ignacio, upon leaving the water after having done his fishing job, began to feel bad, mentioning that he needed air since he could not breathe properly, he said.
He called 911 so that when he arrived at the coast he would be helped with medical attention.
The paramedics from Amerimet went to the above location and proceeded to provide medical attention to the semi-conscious male, who was then taken to the general hospital.
Unfortunately, the fisherman's health is reported as serious and his life is in danger, which is why he is in the hospital.
