COVID-19 Dashboard for Santa Fe
State and County regulations and requirements
STATE: As of December 2, 2020, New Mexico has transitioned to a tiered “red-to-green” reopening matrix by county; 32 of 33 counties are currently classified as red or very high risk for COVID-19 transmission. This reopening matrix was implemented by New Mexico’s Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham following the state’s two-week stay-at-home order which closed in-person activities for non-essential businesses and restricted essential business operations.
The tiered matrix allows for limited economic re-opening per county based on a 14-day rolling average of a case incident rate threshold of 8/100,000 residents and a 5 percent positivity rate. Current state-wide red status reopening conditions (save for one county) limit business activities to the lesser of 25 percent capacity or 75 customers, with close contact businesses such as salons limited to the lesser of 25 percent capacity or 10 customers. Non-retail essential business such as medical providers have no capacity restrictions but must limit operations and staffing to essential services. See more information on essential businesses. In-person dining is prohibited but restaurants may operate outdoor dining at 25 percent capacity and provide curbside pick-up as well as delivery. Gathering size is limited to no more than five persons, indoors or outdoors. Close contact recreational facilities such as movie theaters remain closed.
As of December 9, all non-essential medical procedures at hospitals have been suspended and crisis of care standards activated due to hospitals reaching ICU capacity state-wide. This means that hospitals are now authorized to ration care if necessary. On December 11, the state’s Public Education Department suspended in-person learning for K-12 public schools state-wide after winter break until January 18, 2021.
County COVID-19 conditions will be updated every two weeks at the New Mexico Department of Health’s Red to Green Network. If a county changes to red, it will have 48 hours to adjust business operations to red status restrictions. If a county changes to a lower risk profile of yellow or green, it’s economic restrictions will be adjusted immediately upon reporting.
COUNTY: Santa Fe County is abiding by the state-wide restrictions mandated by the governor, including the wearing of masks at all times indoors and outdoors when outside one’s home, practicing social distancing, limiting non-essential activities, and following gathering size restrictions. As of November 20, Santa Fe Public Schools reverted to online-only learning.
