We seem to hover around twenty people hospitalized for the virus.
Quote:Meanwhile, the governor’s amended order issued Monday also levies several new requirements and mandates additional closures.
Specifically, it stipulates that retailers allowed to remain open as essential businesses – including grocery stores – limit the number of customers inside their stores to no more than 20% of maximum occupancy. The governor said last week some big-box stores were not heeding state officials’ call to follow social distancing measures.
In addition, hotels and other lodging places are, as of Tuesday, ordered to operate at no more than 25% of capacity – down from the previous 50% threshold.
And payday lenders, automobile dealers and liquor stores, which had all been allowed to stay open, will have to cease in-person business today under the governor’s amended order.
The governor acknowledged the measures represented an “enormous sacrifice” for New Mexicans, but she called them a necessary part of a “social contract” to slow the spread of coronavirus.
“These orders are not friendly suggestions; heed them and protect yourselves, your families and your communities,” Lujan Grisham said. “If these directives are not heeded, further restrictions will be enacted. The difference between a worst-case scenario and a best-case scenario for our state depends on your actions and the actions of those around you.”
