Mexicans fretted about beer supplies on Friday after Dutch brewer Heineken said it will suspend production at its seven plants in Mexico to comply with coronavirus containment measures, following a similar announcement by rival Modelo.

Heineken Mexico, which employs 16,000 workers, said its decision was a response to the government’s decision to halt non-essential economic activity to contain the new coronavirus. U.S. supplies of Corona and Pacifico appeared safe. U.S. brewer Constellation Brands , which makes Modelo’s brands for the American market, said on an earnings call that its Mexican plants continued operating, though they were respecting local restrictions.
On the production side, the company will begin reducing operations “to a minimum ... with the sole purpose of avoiding irreversible effects that could make it impossible to reactivate our economic activity.”
