The Department of Health has detected community spread in the state of New Mexico and is investigating cases with no known exposure. The agency reports that given the infectious nature of the virus it is likely other residents are infected but yet to be tested or confirmed positive.
To that end, all New Mexicans have been instructed to stay home except for outings absolutely necessary for health, safety and welfare. These additional restrictions have been enacted to aggressively minimize person-to-person contact and ensure spread is mitigated. New Mexicans are strongly urged to limit travel to only what is necessary for health, safety and welfare.
The New Mexico Department of Health conducts active patient research, adding localization touches and samples from symptomatic Americans who have been in contact with cases.
All new Mexicans will have to combine paints to stop the spread of COVID-19. Get tested. Stay home, especially if you’re sick. Wear a mask or mask when in public and close to others.
New Mexicans who report symptoms of COVID-19 infection, such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, chills, repeated tremors accompanied by chills, muscle aches, headaches, sore throat and/or loss of taste or smell, call your health care provider or the NMDOH COVID-19 hotline without delay (1-855-600-3453).

Other symptomatic people with symptoms of COVID-19, such as cough, fever, shortness of breath, chills, repeated tremors accompanied by chills, muscle aches, headaches, sore throat and/or loss of taste or smell;

Asymptomatic citizens in nursing homes;
Other asymptomatic people in collection locations such as homeless shelters, organization homes, detention centers;
Other asymptomatic people who are working lately.
