The company that makes Corona beer says it will temporarily stop brewing and exporting the beer.

The reason isn’t that the beer’s been the target of many comments and negativity during the coronavirus outbreak, but due to being declared non-essential by the Mexican government during the outbreak. Mexico’s Grupo Modelo exports Corona to 180 countries and released a statement saying the suspension will begin Sunday.

Grupo Modelo is part of the Anheuser-Busch brewing group and operates eleven breweries in Mexico.
