Season 3 Episode 2: COVID-19 Cases, Restrictions Update

As the virus spreads in New Mexico, the state grapples with the beginnings of community spread and rationing

By Katherine Lewin
Normally, Reported, a podcast of the Santa Fe Reporter, is only published once a week. But considering the rapidly increasing number of COVID-19 cases  in New Mexico, we have decided to make more frequent special episodes as things evolve. 
Today at noon, Wednesday March 18, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham took the podium in the state House chambers in front of a small handful of journalists and staffers to go over new orders that affect the entire state. They include restrictions on buying essentials at grocery stores and curtailing restaurant service to carry-out only. The governor also updated the number of positive test results  here in New Mexico.
