LAS CRUCES – We warned you not to throw away your masks, New Mexico s acting Health Secretary Dr. David Scrase said Wednesday. Hopefully you didn t.
Scrase, leading the state health department following the departure of Secretary Dr. Tracie Collins earlier this month, said health officials were very concerned about a recent, rapid increase in cases of COVID-19 disease in New Mexico.
The state s public health order automatically adopts new guidance for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommending individuals wear masks indoors, regardless of vaccination status, in counties with the highest rates of transmission.
However, Scrase echoed a statement Tuesday by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham recommending all New Mexicans follow suit and mask up indoors throughout the state out of abundance of caution.
