Public Education Secretary Ryan Stewart described some of the measures, such as normal oversight; Training and response reports; COVID safety training; and upcoming workshops for families.
“We are setting the bar very high and making every effort to make sure our educators, academics and families can have confidence in the arrangements that have been made for academics to return safely,” he said.
Early Childhood Secretary Elizabeth Groginsky, whose branch was introduced on July 1 to the pandemic, said that so far, 75% of service providers in the early years of training have been able to remain open, yet the pandemic has created demanding situations for both providers and parents.
“We know that with the fluctuating circle of concerns related to the employment and physical condition of family members, many providers face significant challenges. We know that if providers aren’t open, families will have fewer [options],” he says. In the end, he noted, the ministry focused “singularly” on assistance providers remaining open or reopening.
Groginsky also noted that the percentage of parents in the child welfare program has been canceled by September and October, and that eligibility is set at 200% of the federal poverty level. He encouraged all new Mexicans to be eligible for “please touch us. “
The two secretaries discussed youth and family facilities as New Mexico continues to report positive news about COVID-19, the number of cases today higher than in recent times.
The governor today reported 161 new instances of COVID-19, bringing the state total to 26429. The new instances come with the first for DeBaca County, in the past the only county in New Mexico without a case. Chaves County led with new instances: 31, followed by Bernalillo County at 27 and Eddy County with 21. Santa Fe County had 11 new instances.

Overall, New Mexico meets all of its reopening cause criteria, with the exception of checks, which fell below the target of 5,000 checks consistent with one day on a seven-day moving average. Human Services Secretary David Scrase attributed the decrease to a variety of factors, adding climate damage to Expo New Mexico’s verification site and the number of others they verify.
The latter variable would possibly replace as the flu season occurs and without blood. Scrase also reiterated other people’s call to get vaccinated against the flu now, while noting that COVID-19 mitigation efforts, such as masking and social estating, deserve to reduce the season flu to some extent. Flu symptoms range from COVID-19 symptoms, he said. Therefore, anyone with flu-like symptoms,” “will want medical attention; the check can make a difference. “
Scrase, too, as he has already done, reiterated that the people of New Mexico plan to postpone any physical care, focusing this week on breast cancer screenings.
As the state continues to smartly progress, Scrase and the governor reiterated the need for continued vigilance.
“New Mexico is in a prime position,” Lujan Grisham said, “that’s why I hope that in the coming weeks we will continue to communicate news. “
Smart news may come with a review of sports training and youth, he said, awaiting a report from the state’s medical advisory team next week, however, it is unlikely to be reopening bars or cinemas in the short term.
“I need the people of New Mexico to feel like we see a time when we can move to the movies, where we can go to a bar or a nightclub, or just move on to a concert,” he said. “It’s most likely the case,” this kind of activity won’t take place until there’s a vaccine,” he said, adding that while it was imaginable to allow them sooner,” I think in general, new Mexicans deserve to be waiting for them to be at the end of recovery. aperture spectrum. “
Possible adjustments in fitness order if New Mexico continues with low daily instances and checks positivity rates may come with increased capacity for tourism, indoor dining, retail and outdoor activities, but the focus , he says, is still education.
“All our good fortune is the habit of New Mexico residents,” he said. “Congratulations are the order of the day. However, we can do more and we will have to continue to strive, because the more we do and the more counties [qualify according to state rules for reopening schools], the more we can do in the user We are aware that this virus is incredibly misleading and unfair and that families with young people have been affected in massive tactics and their demanding situations are excellent. Our task is to mitigate them to the highest degree. “
