Headed there in June and just saw this.

In a major announcement last week, the governor of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo warned that the state had seen five straight weeks of increased COVID-19 rates following last month’s spring holidays. The dramatically rising case numbers led him to warn that Mexico’s number one tourist destination is at risk of “imminent” lockdown, according to the Associated Press.
“Rates in most of the rest of Mexico have been declining,” reported the A.P., “but Quintana Roo depends on tourism for 87% of its economic activity, and has instituted no travel bans or testing requirements.”

Home to major resort destinations, including Cancún, Cozumel and Tulum, Quintana Roo has had some of the highest rates of international tourism anywhere in the world, with U.S. Americans, in particular, swarming its beaches and relatively lax enforcement of COVID-19 masking and distancing protocols.
In a May 14 tweet, Gov. Carlos Joaquín wrote that the municipality of Benito Juárez, where Cancún is located, now has the highest number of positive cases since the pandemic began. "This is worrying," he wrote in Spanish.
Considering that, as of May 17, Quintana Roo had vaccinated only about 230,000 people out of a population of around 1.8 million, “worrying” may be an understatement.

They re-evaluate weekly and are still at Orange for another week....how close is your trip?

Orange is fine and pretty much everything will be open as usual. They will not move to Red; some are saying this is all a ploy / threat by local governments for political reasons (probably $$ too).
I wouldn't worry about it. Chances of them going to Red are minimal. Obviously this is just my opinion.

The government of Estado Libre y Soberano de Quintana Roo will not kill the goose that lays their golden egg unless there is no other alternative.

Just did a few days in Cozumel in early May to do some diving, and going to Cancun in July. Hopefully still no worse than orange by then.
