The lockdown measures established by the Mexican government due to the COVID-19 outbreak boosted e-commerce in the country, mostly in health-related areas. For instance, sales of pharmaceutical products in Mercado Libre, an online marketplace, increased by 114 percent in March 2020. Additionally, medications were the second most interesting product to purchase online between April and June 2020, after food.
