I have a similar question, I also did my medical abroad in 2020. Since then they have added the covid 19 vaccine to the required list, will we have to get it checked by a civil surgeon or is the vaccine card sufficient?

It is kinda surreal.   I've done the Mexico City run a few times and it was easier than pre covid - granted I have a Mexican Green Card for southbound travel and Global Entry for northbound.

If I’d been coming in on an ESTA immigration wouldn’t have taken more than 10 minutes.

The issue I had in the U.K. is the government have a do not travel advisory. All insurers in the U.K. (that I found) explicitly stated that travelling against the foreign office’s recommendation made the plan void.

I used https://www.truetraveller.com/ for my stay in Mexico, I'm not covered for covid but I was more worried about getting hit by a car. They have a one way insurance policy, It was very expensive but covers me until I arrive in the USA when my next policy kicks in.

Yeah I feel the same way! The Mexican people have been extremely friendly and relaxed. I’m trying to be as positive as possible. I accompanied my friend to the airport today, she left for the US after quarantining here for 14 days (we spend 9  days together), and she just got to the USA! And had a pleasant and easy experience!! When I took her to the international section of the airport I was really surprised, it was empty and she was checked in after 5 minutes! No questions asked! I asked the stuff right there, if I would need a health certificate to fly next Saturday and they said no, and there are currently no plans for such measurements. (American Airlines). I’m so happy I went to the airport, because it gave me a lot of hope! Her flight was at 1.30 pm, we took a taxi at 10.30, arrived around 11.15 ish and she was checked in before 11.30! 🙌🏾 I’m so happy to know, she made it safe and sound and is with her fiancé now!!

That's great news, thank you for the update.

So I thought long before posting this, I am in Mexico right now, as you may know from reading about my experiences on here. I wanted to say, I don’t like the negative vibes on here, it is scary enough right now to be in Mexico during a global pandemic. Of course, it is a scary experience, but we are already here!!! Should we put our head in the sand and cry? Like please refrain from sharing thoughts such as “Mexico will be the new hotspot for the virus” if you do not have a source or can somewhat tell us why you’re feeling that way. I don’t feel like I’m on a vacation here, I’m scared as well. But I do not want to entertain this kind of negativity anymore. It’s scary enough as it is. If you have sources, share it! But please refrain from making us go nuts over here, when the situation is scary enough as it is!!!

We just have to be positive. Being in Mexico at least gives us a chance. I've been in here for 10 days now and it really doesn't feel anything like as bad as the media are making out, everyone is very relaxed. I'm close to 2 hospitals and I think I've only heard one ambulance since i've been here.

I'm in Mexico-City!

 

Honestly still can't believe that I'm here. Stumbled upon this thread 3 weeks ago and now I actually did it. Thank you to all the people for your continuous support. 

 

Here's how it went:

Flight was packed, like as if there is no pandemic going on. Insane. KLM's service is great. Long flight but I had extra leg room so I was good hahaha. 

Then came immigration. Long line. The lady asked me why I'm here and for how long. I said I was staying with a friend for 2 weeks and then I'm flying to the US. Didn't have to show anything. Super easy and super relieved it went that smooth. 

We must have been on the same flight. I can’t believe how easy immigration was. I saw people being led away to another room and I assumed the same would happen to me but I had a bigger interrogation at check in. I just told him is was quarantining for 2 weeks and then flying to the USA, I didn’t mention where I was staying. 

I've just come through security in London Heathrow. I had a few issues at check in with KLM. He had a make a few phone calls to find out if I was allowed to travel, in the end he would only let me through if I bought a return ticket (scarily expensive but refundable). It's to cover them if I'm refused entry into Mexico or the USA as apparently they're then responsible for my return. 

Hi, Thank you for all the updates, I've been lurking for a long time. 
A quick question, Has anyone from the uk managed to find insurance for their trip to Mexico, I've never traveled without insurance before and Mexico feels like the wrong place to start? I fly from LHR on Thursday (4th June).
