Grant County, most of NM turn ‘turquoise’ today Written by Geoffrey Plant on April 30, 2021
Starting today, 24 New Mexico counties including Grant County will transition to the turquoise level of risk under the state’s revised “Red to Green” framework for determining public health restrictions across the state.
During a COVID-19 press update with health officials Wednesday, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced changes to the metrics used to determine color-coded levels of risk associated with the coronavirus.

Actual changes to the color-coded map that defines restrictions across the state will continue to be announced every other week.

State health officials updated the state’s “Red to Green” framework for determining coronavirus restrictions Wednesday. Grant County will retain its yellow designation for another two weeks.

Statewide, new daily infection rates are now holding steady at “a new plateau” of between 220 and 230 new cases per day, according to Human Services Secretary Dr. David Scrase, who attributed the phenomenon to a combination of more people becoming vaccinated while other people, “feeling it’s safe again,” are becoming less diligent about COVID-safe practices like mask-wearing and social distancing.
