I think part of the reason would be that there is no freedom in that country. Government controls everything. Dictatorship, autocracy, authoritarian regime. Whatever you want to call it.

First world democracies, can’t infringe upon citizen rights too much, or at least not openly. Which makes it harder to deal with a pandemic, especially one that, while serious, isn’t going to kill off 10% of the population or anything close. Hardest hit states in the US for example are around 0.27% of the population right now. Which is significant but nothing that is going to cause people to follow a bunch of draconian restrictions to a T for.

The Mexican government was forced to revise its covid death toll and turns out it was 60% higher than previously reported.
"The new figures came after a review of 'excess deaths' and a review of death certificates."
