This is from NM Governor Lujan Grisham’s Facebook page:
Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham

Effective noon today (Friday) I am enacting further temporary restrictions to slow the spread of #COVID19, temporarily locking down the city of Gallup at the mayor’s request.

Effective 12 PM today, all roads into Gallup are closed. Businesses in Gallup will close from 5 pm – 8 am. Vehicles may only have a maximum of 2 individuals. Residents of Gallup should shelter in place unless absolutely necessary for health or safety or a medical emergency.

Gallup city police and McKinley County sheriff’s department will partner with New Mexico State Police, the Department of Transportation and the New Mexico National Guard to enforce the emergency order and road closures. I sincerely thank all of them for their work to save lives.

The spread of #COVID19 in McKinley County is frightful. Physical distancing has not occurred and is not occurring. Stricter measures are necessary to stop the virus. A problem in one part of our state, with a virus this dangerous and contagious, is a problem for our entire state.

The imperative for all of us to remain home and physically distant has not changed. It is even more crucial for New Mexicans in the northwestern region. But what is happening in the northwest could happen in any part of our state. We must remain vigilant.

We are praying for the good health and safety of all! We are also praying for wisdom for all people. Let us all come together and pray.

And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

New Mexico House Republican Whip Rod Montoya (R-Farmington) issued the following statement in response to the updates Governor Lujan Grisham provided yesterday “The governor, after weeks of inaction, has decided to listen to New Mexicans struggling to maintain their livelihoods. This is a start, but we still have a long way to go to repair a badly damaged economy.”
