The New Mexico Department of Health (DOH) announced that it is implementing revised federal guidance surrounding isolation and quarantine for COVID-19, effective on Thursday, January 6, 2022.

Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has extended the current emergency health order requiring masks at all indoor public settings through January 7th.

Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday signed an executive order expanding eligibility for COVID-19 booster shots to all New Mexico adults as part of the state’s strategy to address rising case numbers and hospitalizations, a trend being seen nationwide. The statewide requirement that face masks be worn in all indoor public spaces, with only limited exceptions and regardless of vaccination status, was also extended, effective through at least December 10.

If you need proof of COVID vaccination in the event that you did not receive a card from the pharmacy/clinic you went to, or if you have lost the card given to you when you got vaccinated, here is a link that will give you all of your vaccination records.

Kudos to the local heroes at Fusion Wellness and the Fabulous Ladies Book Club that are helping to be a part of the solution and are getting vaccines in people’s arms!
