Mayor José López López announced in February 2021 that only two members of the community had agreed to voluntary vaccination to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, so the town would not be participating. While Mexico has been one of the hardest-hit countries in the world (1,89 million confirmed cases, 161,000 deaths), Chiapas in general and Cancuc in particular has been largely spared with only three confirmed cases, all of whom have recovered.
