State lifts pandemic restrictions
From a June 30 news release from the office of Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham
Effective Thursday, July 1, all pandemic-related occupancy restrictions on all forms of commercial activity will be lifted. All businesses across the state may once again operate at 100 percent of maximum capacity. In addition, all limitations on mass gatherings are gone; businesses, large events and organizations may operate at 100 percent of maximum capacity, whether indoor or outdoor.
New Mexicans, particularly unvaccinated New Mexicans, should be advised of the risks presented by the Delta variant and should seek out their vaccinations at vaccineNM.org immediately.
Businesses and local governments may still adopt and require additional precautions for residents, employees and/or patrons, at their discretion, and are still advised to enact whatever social distancing and face-masking measures may be appropriate to ensure the health and safety of customers and staff, in accordance with national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance.
The state’s updated COVID-Safe Practices, a set of best practices and safety guidance for businesses, will also now follow CDC guidance and will be streamlined for businesses in general; previously, state COVID-Safe Practices had outlined industry-specific requirements.
There have been no state travel restrictions or requirements since mid-February.
Facemasks, in accordance with CDC guidance, have not been required in New Mexico for individuals who have completed their vaccination series since May 14.
The state will continue to follow CDC guidance with respect to face-coverings. Masks are required for unvaccinated individuals; regardless of state guidance, businesses, workplaces and tribes may continue to require masks for employees, customers or visitors, regardless of vaccination status, at their discretion.
Most health care facilities will continue to require masks, screening for Covid symptoms, limited numbers of visitors, limited visitation times and continued Covid-19 testing for hospitalized patients and those undergoing certain procedures. State health officials said health care facilities are safe and said individual health care should not be delayed for any reason.
The state will continue to promote and administer COVID-19 vaccinations all across the state, the governor said.
All New Mexicans ages 12 and older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine and are strongly encouraged to schedule their vaccine appointment today at vaccineNM.org or by calling 1-855-600-3453. Parents of New Mexicans ages 12-15 are encouraged to register their child for the approved Pfizer vaccine at vaccineNM.org.
The state’s Vax 2 the Max Sweepstakes, including four more $1 million drawings (for New Mexicans who have received at least one vaccine shot) and a $5 million grand prize (for New Mexicans who have completed their vaccination series), continues; vaccinated New Mexicans who would like a chance to win must opt in to the sweepstakes at vax2themaxNM.org.
