Please read If you see a "Not Secure" warning while browsing the web with Safari.
Websites themselves have not changed. Safari's "Not Secure" status is a relatively new feature feature added to Safari intended to draw your attention to the fact the website is not using encryption.
In many cases, such as a website that describes how a slot machine works, it's not important. On the other hand if you are using a website for online banking, shopping or anything else for which you might need to provide information you should consider personal (names, account numbers, even something you're searching for) you should never see that "Not Secure" status.
Nearly all websites default to using secure protocols because it's simple to implement, in addition to being a generally beneficial practice.

Beginning with Safari 13.1, it now displays "Not Secure" for websites that continue to use outdated TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.0 security protocols. This is a website administrative issue, and nothing that you can change in Safari 13.1 or later.

thanks for your help John! But definitely need to understand why those sites are insecure given the sensitive information .
That website contains publicly available information that would not be considered sensitive or confidential.
However, if you wanted to contact an agency to chat with someone through one of its webpages, you will find the following example:
Opciones para realizar tu trámite
En línea: Realiza tu denuncia en línea aquí.
That link loads a secure webpage: https://sidec.funcionpublica.gob.mx/
It's ok to provide personal information on that website, because it is encrypted. the "Not Secure" message will not appear.
Maybe you are not using the SSL address when accessing the sites.
is not secure while
is secure.
Oh I see thank you so much. I just thought a government health website would count as important . But will take your word for it ! Thank you!
