Loving our Governor right now... bolding is mine


Today New Mexico Department of Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel has issued a public health order suspending gatherings of 100 or more people in a single space, solidifying the guidance I gave yesterday as to large events and ensuring that New Mexicans are prepared and proactive.

I know that this will affect previously planned and ongoing events, but right now public health is the first consideration. New Mexico is not going to wait as long as some other states to make hard decisions about this pandemic – we are going to do everything we can to be ahead of the curve.

Know that there are exemptions from the public health order – they include all educational institutions, airports and mass transit, malls and retail stores, shelters, offices and businesses, courthouses, child-care centers, health care facilities and other congregate care facilities, and places of worship.

We're up to 6 cases in the state now.  2 more new cases, (and the 2nd one in my county), and ALL public schools in the state will be closed for 3 weeks starting Monday.

New Mexico announces four more positive COVID-19 cases

Mar 13, 2020 | Press Releases


Additional test results returned this morning

SANTA FE – New Mexico state health officials on Friday morning announced four more New Mexico residents who tested presumptive positive for COVID-19, adding to the six presumptive positive tests earlier this week.

Per the state Department of Health, the most recent cases are:

  • A Bernalillo County man in his mid-50s with close household contact with a previous presumptive positive resident. He is at home in isolation.
  • A Bernalillo County man in his 80s with close household contact with a previous presumptive positive resident. He is hospitalized.
  • A Bernalillo County woman in her mid-70s with close household contact with a previous presumptive positive resident. She is at home in isolation.
  • A Santa Fe County woman in her late 20s with recent travel to New York. She is at home in isolation.

The other six presumptive positive tests in New Mexico were:

  • A Santa Fe County woman in her 50s with recent international travel to Italy.
  • A Socorro County husband and wife both in their 60s with known recent international travel to Egypt.
  • A woman in her 70s in Bernalillo County with known recent travel to the New York City area.
  • A Santa Fe County woman in her 60s with known recent travel to the New York City area.
  • A Bernalillo County woman in her 40s. The Department of Health is investigating a possible travel link.

The New Mexico Department of Health has active investigations into each of the presumptive positive patients, which includes contact-tracing and swabs of symptomatic individuals who have had contact with the positive cases.

The governor and Department of Health are urging New Mexicans to:

  • Remain home from work or school if you are sick
  • Avoid all non-essential travel to affected out-of-state areas; and exercise extreme caution with all out-of-state travel
  • Remain home (“self-isolate”) if you are sick and call the Department of Health at 1-855-600-3453 if you are exhibiting any of the symptoms of COVID-19
    • Those symptoms include fever, cough or trouble breathing
  • And continue taking precautionary steps to protect your health and the health of others, such as:
    • Washing your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
    • Clean “high-touch” surfaces daily with regular household cleaners
    • Avoid sharing personal household items

Additional advisories, guidance and orders will follow as conditions warrant.

The state Department of Health is updating its dedicated COVID-19 webpage, viewable here: cv.nmhealth.org.

https://nmpoliticalreport.com/2020/03/15/state-orders-restrictions-on-capacity-of-restaurants-bars/?fbclid=IwAR2UNndKC7pWmMKQfR-T9HxXIcUDffUvtOKjTzX7yRIvsOvUr5-iuW60ZEM 

All restaurants, bars, breweries, eateries and other food establishments in New Mexico will not be able to operate at more than 50 percent maximum occupancy or 50 percent of seating capacity.

That is part of a change to the public health emergency the state ordered on Thursday, and a further restriction aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19, a type of coronavirus, in New Mexico. As of Sunday, 17 people in New Mexico had tested positive for COVID-19.

The order by Secretary of Health Kathy Kunkel will begin at 9 a.m. on Monday. 

The order also says that tables and booths will not be able to seat more than six people and that all occupied tables and booths must be separated by at least six feet.

“The best thing New Mexicans can do right now is self-isolate and limit person-to-person contact,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said in a statement. “We all have to pull together in this effort. Keep washing your hands with soap and water regularly. Stay at home. Remember your neighbors and buy only what you need when you are shopping.”

The state already banned “mass gatherings” of more than 100 people, but this did not include restaurants or bars. It instead applied to events in arena, theaters, auditoriums or stadiums, most of which are one-time events.

The order also exempted retail stores, grocery stores, courthouses, correction and detention facilities, hospitals and other areas where a large amount of people could gather.

The state also closed all public schools for three weeks, beginning Monday.

This change by the state follows a nationwide trend as governors tighten restrictions. Four states, California, Ohio, Illinois and Massachusetts, have already ordered restaurants and bars to be closed. Other states have implemented similar restrictions as New Mexico.

Testing has accelerated over recent days, and more positive tests are expected.

The state asks for people to remain home as much as possible and only leave their houses for essential outings.

The state also says anyone who is showing signs of COVID-19, which includes fever, cough or trouble breathing, should call the DOH at 1-855-600-3453.
