It is of utmost importance to continue monitoring the measures adopted by each jurisdictional authority, particularly at the state level, to understand what suspension terms each specific authority will apply.
It is also important to note that as of the publication of this newsflash, not a single federal public administrative authority has decided to suspend terms, so the terms with each one of those authorities will continue to run on a normal basis. (e.g. SAT, Secretary of Economy, etc.)
We will continue to monitor official announcements and update you as necessary when we have any new information.
