With the indoor mask mandate lifted in New Mexico, Doña Ana County announced Thursday that face masks will still be required for employees who have recently tested positive for COVID-19, as well as employees in higher risk populations like first responders and detention facility employees. Although the indoor mask mandate has been lifted, county employees still have the option to wear a mask while at work.
County officials said that employees will not have to test weekly or after returning from travel. County employees who test positive for COVID-19 are still required to notify HR immediately and isolated for five consecutive days. Officials say they will continue to monitor pandemic updates.
