Coronavirus cases in New Mexico are on the rise and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has implemented new changes to the public health order, including updated travel restrictions.
All individuals arriving from high-risk states must self-quarantine for a period of 14 days or for the duration of their stay in New Mexico, whichever is shorter. The previous exemption for a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours has been removed.
For the most up to date list of high and low risk states, please see our website at www.abqsunport.com/covid-19/In recent weeks, COVID-19 has spread rapidly throughout all regions of New Mexico, including an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations.
In order to stem this alarming rise of COVID-19 statewide, renewed public health regulations will go into effect beginning Friday, October 16.
Without a vaccine, we have only a few tools against this awful, invisible enemy. We must wear our masks. We must avoid large groups of people. We must limit our travel outside of the home, particularly our time in enclosed indoor spaces.
When we do these things, we can crush the virus, and we protect our families, our communities and our state from being overrun by illness. But the virus is booming in New Mexico right now, leaving us with no other option than to restrict opportunities for COVID-19 to spread.
Effective October 16:
- Any food or drink establishment in New Mexico serving alcohol must close at 10:00 p.m. each night, as advised by the Economic Recovery Council. This requirement will be rigorously enforced by the state.
- Maximum occupancy restrictions will be reduced to 60 percent for places of lodging that have completed the N.M. Safe Certified training program and to 25 percent for places of lodging that have not completed the training program.
- All individuals arriving from higher-risk states must self-quarantine for a period of no less than 14 days or for the duration of their stay in New Mexico, whichever is shorter, removing the exemption for a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours.
- Mass gatherings of more than 5 individuals are once again prohibited, defined as any public or private gathering, organized event, ceremony, parade, organized amateur contact sport or grouping that brings together individuals in an indoor OR outdoor space.
I once again urge, with my whole heart, that New Mexicans in every corner of the state, city leaders, county leaders, business leaders, community leaders all take up the mantle of fighting this invisible enemy, of requiring and encouraging safe behavior.
No one, least of all me, wants to get to the point of necessitating additional rollbacks.
The crisis is not over. The virus is still with us. Let’s step it up, all together, once again.

Just awful, I had to cancel my trip to Oregon to see my kids 😕
I don’t think anyone’s doing that. They fly to NM, do what they need to do, and fly home. Or fly out of NM and fly back, and continue living.
These numbers are straight from the NMDOH: August 17 5442 tests conducted -170 positives 3.123% positivity rate October 9 15,707 tests conducted -486 positives 3.094% positivity rate Total of 989,652 tests to date -32,722 positives 3.306% positivity rate. Yesterday's rate is lower than the rate since we've been keeping score. This is dishonest reporting of statistics. People have been contracting it at approximately the same rate in NM the whole time.
Day 10 of quarantine after flying to Florida and back. No symptoms. I felt very safe. Everyone wore masks wherever I went and the four airports I was in. We can live again— just mask up and wash your hands.
Close the airports!!! No tourists are mand the quarantine they’re on vacation... Smh
No one is quarantining, there are ton of tourists going to Santa Fe
Thanks, Mom.
What a joke
This doesn’t make sense. Business travelers can travel freely and don’t need to quarantine. So my question is, are they exempt from getting the virus and passing on to others? The virus is real, but this is all just for show.

After much anticipation, our beloved clock is back! 🕥 She’s fully restored (and digital!) back in her original 1980s location in the Great Hall. 😍
Our favorite Monday morning greeting 🛫
Today we're making #ThrowbackTuesday a thing after receiving this gem from Sunport fan Randy Wright. Watch as passengers board a TWA Lockheed Constellation at the Old Terminal circa 1959.
1939 construction of the old ABQ terminal – true adobe in progress! 🧱 Officially known as the Old Albuquerque Municipal Airport Building, the old terminal was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. #ThrowbackThursday
Today we remember and honor those that lost their lives on this fateful day 19 years ago. Together with our federal partners, we remain committed to the safety our nation's airspace. #NeverForget
We're just out here preparing for that cold front 🥶 #nmwx
New month, same sunrise feels 🌅 happy #TowerTuesday, friends!
Have you ever wondered about this plane on display in the Great Hall? It's an original Ingram-Foster biplane, built between 1914 and 1916, and is believed to be the finest surviving example of an original Curtiss pusher design. These planes, and their pilots, have an incredible history! Click the link in our bio to read more! #NationalAviationDay
#TowerTuesday reminder that adventure is ALWAYS at the end of a rainbow! 🌈
