These activities comprise the third stage of the reopening of socioeconomic activities, which takes into consideration the sanitary safety protocols to reduce the risks associated with the pandemic generated by SARS-CoV2 (COVID -19). The traffic light alerts of the epidemiological risks will be dictated by the federal authority and will be divided into maximum alert (red), high risk (orange), intermediate risk (yellow) and low or ordinary risk (green). In the New Normality, companies will be allowed to restart operations and it will only be required for them to consider the guidelines and to comply with the epidemiological risk traffic light system. This means that no prior authorization is required. In this phase, the online self-evaluation is statutory for companies with essential activities and must be done through the webpage www.nuevanormalidad.gob.mx. Companies engaged in construction, mining and transportation equipment activities that already completed their self-evaluation during the period from May 18-31, will not be required to do it again. Online self-assessment will be voluntary for companies that are engaged in non-essential activities, regardless of its size.

Work center's obligations are limited to compliance with the measures included in the guidelines. If they are subject to an inspection from a competent federal authority, they must demonstrate full compliance.
