SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Political party delegates from New Mexico who traveled to the Republican National Convention and President Donald Trump’s speech at the White House are obligated to self-quarantine as they return home to a state that requires face masks and limits public gatherings.
A spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday said the delegates are subject to a 14-day self-quarantine provision that applies to most travelers as they enter or return to New Mexico. The state is relaxing its stay-at-home order gradually as the spread of COVID-19 slows. New Mexico has reported more than 25,000 confirmed cases since the pandemic began.
