While I've no doubt that tourists may tax the system in many ways, implying that only tourists ignore the mandate is a bit short-sighted. We visited twice this year: once before the mandate and once after, and each time locals didn't seem to be in compliance any better than tourists. In fact, before the mandate and at a time before tourists began to increase their numbers, we often saw locals crowding the bar scenes, grocery stores, at work, and in restaurants without masks. In fact, until the mandate, many restaurants didn't require their servers to wear masks, such as Scott's, San Miguel's, Skull Creek, et. al. While the sheer numbers may have been a bit worse due to tourists, it's an oversimplification to suggest tourists were the primary ones who didn't "respect the laws there."
