Update October 4, 2022:
Current SMA Covid Graphic (captured Oct 4, early am):

September 27 SMA Covid Graphic (captured Sept 28, early am):
As you can see, based on these official graphics nothing has changed between Sept 27 and now. No new covid cases and no new deaths. That would be great, if true, but there is no way to distinguish between no actual change and the graphic has not updated. Which is it?
Based on these tweets from the GTO Secretaría de Salud there have been Covid cases reported in SMA ('Allende' in the chart) in this time frame:
https://twitter.com/SaludGuanajuato/status/1575660976351105027
and
https://twitter.com/SaludGuanajuato/status/1576377457061396480
The GTO Secretaría de Salud does not always include SMA in his tweets, and these update tweets do not appear every day. We know about these four cases but we don't know if there are others in this same timeframe. So,
at least four new cases since September 27.
And this is why I am no longer doing daily updates. It is far too much work to piece together what may or may not be accurate reporting of the official numbers because the official numbers are not being consistently published.
~~~~~
The daily SMAFAQ Coronavirus Dashboard is discontinued. Based on events and data availability I may re-start it in the future. Today there is apparently no update for SMA or GTO from the official websites nor via tweet from the GTO Secretaría de Salud. There is an update for MEX from Worldometer but not the MEX official website.

Based on
national estimates from
UNAM (National Autonomous University of Mexico)
the actual number of cases in Mexico has historically been about 10 to 20 times more than the officially reported numbers. *

Both the GTO and SMA official websites frequently do not show current values. I often get the numbers from tweets from the
GTO Secretaría de Salud, but those are not consistent and are incomplete. The official page with the Mexican Map frequently goes days without updates and I get those values from
Worldometer. As it becomes increasingly difficult to get the current official values and the current wave is apparently waning and Covid deaths are relatively low I will likely discontinue the Coronavirus Dashboard in the near future.
