From December 2, 2022 post.

On December 1, the New Mexico Department of Health (NMDOH) issued a new public health order directing New Mexico hospitals to work cooperatively to address over-capacity levels of hospitalization driven by  sustained increases in COVID-19, influenza, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). See HERE  NMDOH advises that children experiencing symptoms of RSV should stay home from school and daycare settings (See HERE for symptoms and care), and that New Mexico families exercise additional precautions this holiday season to prevent disease transmission, including wearing masks when in indoor public settings and refraining from meeting with friends and family when experiencing respiratory disease symptoms. NMDOH further advises that families obtain vaccinations and boosters for influenza and COVID-19 to prevent illness.
