FARMINGTON — The updated COVID-19 restrictions map released Wednesday by the New Mexico Department of Health places 32 counties at the most-relaxed Turquoise Level of COVID-19 restrictions and one at the Green Level.
Both of those levels place fewer restrictions on businesses, churches and the size of public gatherings than the state’s other color-coded restriction levels.
The new map shows that no counties were in the Yellow or Red Levels as of May 19.
San Juan County reported 12 new cases May 19 and no new deaths, according to the health department's daily report. Statewide there were 160 new cases and four new deaths, bringing the number of cases reported in New Mexico since the pandemic began to 201,489.
