As of Monday, 32 out of 33 counties were designated red, or “very high risk,” by New Mexico’s Medical Advisory Team, which will roll out a new framework on Wednesday to assess the risk of coronavirus spread and accompanying restrictions on a county-by-county basis. Wealthy Los Alamos County was the only county categorized as yellow, or “high risk,” the middle designation under the new three-tiered system, announced by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham during her weekly COVID-19 update, which was livestreamed via Facebook.
Governor optimistic about county-by-county approach to COVID restrictions
Starting Wednesday, New Mexico will implement a new “red to green” system for determining COVID-19 public health restrictions on a county-by-county basis. The change follows what officials called a two-week “reset” that saw the state impose the highest level of restrictions on businesses and gatherings since the start of the pandemic.
