Governor Orders Remote Work for All Government Employees

As Covid19 becomes pandemic and has affected most countries worldwide, all nations have come up with a resolution to lockdown their territories in the hope to lessen the infection rate of their people.

Many leaders have initiated to look for cure and treatment for the virus. And as many say that the virus is airborne and can be transmitted through air, doctors and the health organization does not yet confirm it.

For now, only one thing is for sure, that the transmission of the virus so far is proven by exposing a person to an infected person.

Air and land transportation has become limited and also access to enter other countries. Crossing boundaries requires intense precautions as it can also be the cause of the fast-spreading of the virus.

The government advises all people to do self-quarantine if they are exposed to an infected person. Cities and states are also in total lockdown to prevent further complications with their hospitals and infirmaries.

Especially in New Mexico, like any other leader, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has ordered all state employees to start working from home on Monday. All office work and any other works that are usually done outside their home or in an open field will be done at home.

This is to prevent them from virus exposure and to lessen New Mexico's infection rate. All government agencies and employees will follow suit.

The Governor realizes that it is a matter of life and death and must exert extreme precautionary measures to ensure that her people are safe and sound inside their homes at the same time they are still working.

This is because if the people stop working, they will suffer more, for they cannot buy all of their necessities like food and sanitary essentials.

Governor Grisham came up to this resolution because there are another four (4) residents that have tested positive of the Coronavirus, making it the tally to increase to a total of seventeen (17) infected New Mexicans. The infected have an age ranging between the twenties (20s) to forties (40s). The four newly infected residents have travel histories and are currently isolated and quarantined.

Going to crowded places like restaurants, bars, parks, and other eating establishments have limited their occupancy to fifty percent (50%), right after the Department of Health Secretary Kathy Kunkel ordered it and to exercise social distance. Ski Santa Fe and Taos Ski Valley have announced that they are going to end their season. Also, other tourist attractions are closing, including their zoos.

Even though the casinos located in tribal lands are not included in the Governor's resolution, the spokesperson Tripp Stilnicki told the press that Governor Grisham herself has communicated with tribal leaders to ask them to close temporarily. And many of them had agreed to close for at least two weeks. In addition to his statement, Grisham has also called all of the business and recreational leaders and companies to ask them to comply with the state's order to work at home.
